No fuel

Another item,is the bolt in front of engine for fuel pump rod too long,it should be a short one,just to block oil from coming out,not a long one that holds the rod in place for pump exchange

Sorry, it was supposed to say, "then it starts pumping..."

I'll have to try that this weekend. 

I drive it, it dies. I feed the carburetor fuel and try starting the truck. It runs as long as I feed the carburetor, then after a minute or two of running, it will run on it's own.

So I got the truck running better. Found a loose hose clamp on the fuel pump, and changed to a newish carburetor. Now, when floored the engine will rev, the transmission will downshift, then after a few seconds it'll act as if I let off the accelerator pedal. I let off, reapply, and the engine responds as it should. I haven't had it shut off as previously yet.

**Update** Turns out it was the carburetor this whole time. Bought a brand new one, slapped it in, and BAM, no issues. Runs beautifully. Lesson learned. Thank you all for your help!! I really appreciate it!
