If all of the above suggestions resolve disregard:

Here's what I've experienced in the past with these old trucks for similar symptoms:
Clogged filter in the gas tank.
Clogged filter outside the tank. PO had installed one under the cab and it was full of sediment.
Clogged filter inside the carb inlet.
Weak fuel pump pressure. Replaced it.
Extremely restricted fuel line between tank and fuel pump.
