not too familiar with this truck but i once had the same problem with my gt2. check the gasket between your exhaust outlet and header. you may need a new one they run 2-3 bucks. thats what it was for me. also check your fuel line for leaks especially around the carburettor nipple

Are you running way rich? Sounds to me like you're using a way way too rich setting on your needles.

He meant for you to check the exhaust gasket that goes between the block and header I think. That can go bad and cause an air/fuel leak. Also, sounds to me like it might be time to take that engine out and seal it all up.

You need to check your manifold, which is the piping that is attached to the engine, on there is a gasket that sits between the engine and manifold, if that is damaged or no good it may cause leaking, and make sure the bolts holding it onto the engine is tight, and this is what he means by sealing your engine for air leaks:
