Re: truck wanting to quit?

Sounds like you could use a good ol fashioned tune up.
If choke not functioning then drive gentle till warm up.
Make sure choke opens.
Carb may be ready for an accelerator pump, tune and/or rebuild.
I'd then check timing, plugs, etc.

any chance of vac leaks?

I drive this truck gentle most always. And I always let the choke settle in before taking off. The carb was rebuilt last year and I had also just did a tune up a few weeks ago. I can't see, feel or hear any vacuum leaks either. Stumped!
