Truck stumbles and dies when cold - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I first start the truck, put it in gear and give it a little gas to get it rolling in the morning, it stumbles like it got no fuel pressure. Sometimes it even dies. If I let off the gas and throw it in nuetral, then it picks right back up to a good idle. After I get it rolling, it does this for maybe two blocks, then seems to stop as soon as it warms up. On occasion it has even died after about six blocks when I brake for a light or a turn. When I start it back up it acts like the carb is out of gas, then stars after a few turns. Could this be something other than a carb in need of a rebuild?
