Different Carburetor Floats?

Has anybody here experienced having a different float in the carb than someone else? I ask because i need to do a rebuild soon and plan to replace my float. But there seems to be two different floats out there supposedly. My dad owned the truck before and did a rebuild on it 2 years ago, and he says that i needed single rectangular float , but all of the parts stores tell me they are a double sided float and that i have a different carb, but it looks stock(comparing it to many others.

My problem is i cant find the rectangular float or if i due i have to order it and it cost a truck load. And i don't even know if it will fit. And i can t just have the truck MIA in its my Daily driver

Little bit of the trucks specifications Its a 2wd sr5 82 pick up.

Can you repair the floats you have now?

I would take the top of the carb off and see what it looks like. It's really easy to do. Here is a good walkthrough from Pirate4x4.com.

Yeah i saw that, second now where would i go to find the number for the carb? From the tab i think is the number i got 35161 is this right?, And also i cleaned off the fuel glass and looked in through there where i think i might have the 2 float design because i can see that pole that would be between the two floats, but my dad swears it has a single float design. he says hes replaced it 2 twice.

Thanks for the help
