I see you want a rebuilt one but just sent you an email with link to one on eBay. I just noticed the one on eBay is missing both needles.
There is also this one;

that OF missing the slow/fast needles is for a Willys. It is not a "T" carb, though it will be confused as one by most everyone who looks.

once it gets a new set of these, it will be complete, but there are so few Willys folks around, who knows?

My understanding is the "OF" was only made for Fords. How can you tell it is for a Willys not a Ford?

Ed has clearly shown the difference on the casting machining. Also, look at his upper picture and see that the Willys throttle arm has a "crink" in it to shorten it and change the throttle input geometry to adapt to a shorter input.

The E-Bay link to the OF above has "Studebaker" on the float bowl cover ?

Steve

After the glass bowl era, Strombergs generally all take the same float bowl cover (either cast or sheet metal depending on vintage).

The OE-1 Was a Studebaker carb and that cover would have come on it. Insofar as they are interchangeable, it migrated onto a Willys carb, apparently.

Right now, Ed Martin is selling a Stromberg LF which sports the cast version of the cover if you want to check his ad for comparison: https://mtfca.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=32931

Thank you Scott and Ed. Guess you could plug and redrill the mounting holes.

That's my auction listing. Indeed, that carburetor is almost certainly off a Willys-Overland Light Four, Model 91, 92, or Redbird. Stromberg the OF (and later the RF) for both Ford and Overland. Stromberg supplied Willys-Knight with either an OD-1 or an OS-2 depending on year.

The float bowl cover says "Studebaker model" because that was the cleanest spare one I had on hand. All of the O and O-related float covers and floats interchange except the OTs. Studebaker Light Sixes used the "Studebaker model" OE-1, but they were sold as OEM or aftermarket for a lot of cars.

I'll add to the auction description.

Thank you all for info and leads. I had no idea these carbs brought the $$ that they do. For now, I am going to look for a cheaper alternative. Thank you.

What price range were you hoping to find one for? I know there are some guys still watching this.
