Started a previous thread about 4X4, now I need to know something else.

What year did Ford stop using carbs in the 350s?

I'm thinking a carburated model would be easier for me to maintain on the Models I'm looking at. Although a Throttle body would be just as easy, I guess.

Just don't want to mess with a bunch of fuel injectors on a work truck...

Just looking for a Farm truck to work. How new a model can I get for $8k.

What years should I be looking at??

thanks guys, got approved by the bank and I have 60 days to find one.
