Carb is fine, it needs fine tuning, engine is shaking little bit

I’ve installed a torque strap a couple times to limit the motor from moving. Whenever put in gear the motor wants to torque to the passenger side.
I used a short chain with a turnbuckle. Attached to the frame and a convenient bolt down beside the power steering pump.
If the clunk goes away then you know something is hitting somewhere.
If you try that don’t leave the strap in place. Your steering can be effected.
I’m sure it’s something behind the transfer case to the rear differential,
Im waiting for free time so I can diagnose it probably.
Thank you and the other who helped me to fix the issue. 👋🏻.

The only thing is where to fine a NOS or remanufactered carburetor that fits my truck.
