Are you setting the choke if it has a manual choke? It seems that every one of these old trucks has it's little quirks and you have to figure out how to get the choke set right, how many times to pump the gas pedal without flooding it (you do pump the gas pedal a few times ? As it isn't an FI engine) and what if any throttle opening it wants to start at.
