Fuel injection would be the best route, either that or a turbo diesel, a 1959 F100 weighs about the same as a VW jetta TDI so that might even be an option, a bit more frontal area in the truck but people also toss all kinds of stuff on the roof of some of those cars too.

I had one of those damn things. '84 Accord. A beautiful running car till one one those 56 vac lines started acting up. After battling it on and off for a year or so, I got rid of it.
