Re: 1968 Chev K10 Carb.

The fact that the truck runs but no accelerator pump shot to me means that the either the accelerator pump seal has failed or the check valve for the accelerator pump is stuck.
My money would be on the pump seal failing. It is quite possible that the seal's lip stuck to the pump bore when the fuel evaporated and then when the pump was operated it tore the lip and now it won't seal. Or the seal is stuck to the bore and the whole cup has pulled off of the accelerator pump shaft.

This link may help explain what I believe your problem is.
