I believe your truck has a carburetor is that correct?if it does it also has a secondary fuel filter inside the carburetor where the fuel line attaches, you will need a 1'' inch wrench and a 5/8'' line wrench to replace it, also you may be having choke problems, have you checked the fuel pressure from the mechanical pump?
