x2, plus I haven't noticed anywhere that you've replaced your fuel filter, have you?
I've had to clean out the deposits and crap the "oxygenated" fuels leave behind when they evaporate or sit for a day, got used to rebuilding an old Carter Ball-and-ball every six months in Cali that NEVER got plugged up with anything before MTBE came along.
I submit that your truck sat one day after getting filed up with either "smog" fuel or you ran the tank down to the bottom, stirring up some garbage, then filled it up. Either way your filter sounds plugged and there's probably more junk getting into the float bowl after every time you clean it.
This junk is also possibly sticking between the tips of the rods and jets. Try rolling the tips on a flat, hard surface to straighten them and replace.
Notice that the issues I mentioned can actually arise on nearly any carb, even ones that are normally unstoppable.
