Sounds like you idle is set too low. Try adjusting your idle set screw

Had this happen to me.

Remove the filter so you can see your carb. You can do this without having the truck on most likely. Turn on your power and apply the brakes. Does your linkage push your carb past the idle position when the brakes are applied? If so, that's what's causing it. Post a pic if you can.
