So far I am looking at an item on ebay and they say that this particular carburetor (DCH340 carburetor) fits many different vehicles and it is a stock carburetor. I am assuming that if I get a carburetor from any of these vehicles I will be able to swap it into my truck and have it running.
Here is the list:

Also, I do not want to spend $300 for a Weber or a high performance engine right now. My current engine is in unknown conditions (it runs but it does need gaskets so far) and I've heard you get poor fuel economy with those expensive carbs. So I can't be running a high performance carb with a low performance engine. I might just blow it up.
These picture are from my carburetor. If anybody recognizes what kind of carb do I have please let me know. I am unfamiliar with carbs.

These are the gaskets that I was trying to replace the one at the left is the new one that came with the kit for the 1975 Datsun 620 and the one at the right is the one I pulled out of my carb. Which carburetor kit should I get?

*UPDATE 08/13/2013: I went to the wrecking yard today and got the same carburetor that came with my 1975 Datsun 620 from a 1973 Datsun 620. These so far are exactly the same, and none have a part number I can use to identify them. My best guess is that I am and was running a Hitachi DCH340 Carburetor from a 1973 Datsun 620 truck.*
Here is some more info. After doing some more research on Datsun 620's Carburetors, I found out that there are two carburetor kits that I am interested in.
The main reason why I am able to recognize them is because of the gasket that goes in between the "feet" and the "body" of the carburetor (Gasket 88). You can see it in the image where two gaskets appear.
These are the Carburetor gasket kits that have the gasket compatible with the one shown on the right:
1972 Datsun 620
Uses 96-274 Carburetor kit from Autozone
Compatible with Carburetor DAF326, DAH328
1973 Datsun 620
Uses 96-275 Carburetor kit from Autozone
Compatible with Carburetor DCH340
1974 Datsun 620
Uses 96-275 Carburetor kit from Autozone
Compatible with Carburetor DCH340
I have also concluded that the DCH340 style or type of carburetor appears in the Datsun 620 from 1973 to 1978, but these have different carburetor kits, which means that their base, trunk, or head vary. Many parts stay the same but since there are variations you will not be able to rebuild a 1978 carb from a 1973 kit.
Note that I purchased Carburetor kit 96-282B from Autozone and got the wrong gasket (88) for the one shown in the image. Any carburetor kit for a 1975 or newer 620 will not work for me. So I will buy one for an older truck since I think I have an older carburetor. Right now I am leaning towards the 1973 and 1974 since they use the DCH340 carburetor. I am also currently looking for one.
*UPDATE 8/13/2013: I just purchased a carburetor kit from Autozone for a 1973 Datsun 620 truck that will fit my two carburetors*
I just noticed too, DCH340 means DatsunCarburetorHitachi340?
