Could be something in the exhaust. As to the fuel line I would just run some line to a can and run the truck and see if it runs better or not. I had a truck sit for a while like that and it ran pretty bad and had the same symptoms you described. I filled the tank to half and it still ran bad so I drained all the fuel I could out and put all new fuel in it and it ran bad for about 10 mins or so and then cleared right up. I see you said you filled up already so that may not be the problem but I dont know if bad gas floats to the top of a tank or maybe sinks to the bottom or mixes equally well in the rest of the fuel. Good Luck.
