two things I would check. . .

make sure the base of the carb isn't warped. . . spray solvent around the base while the truck is idling and see if idle quality changes. . .

Maybe the secondary isn't opening. . .they are vacuum operated, and sometimes they get stuck closed, or the linkage on the back gets disconnected somehow. . .pops loose. . .
