Would like to wrap my head around why it's happening, as well as fixing it.
yes,, don't hold the choke closed to long, these ole stove bolts tend to take there time warming up in the morning. give Gus (cool name for your truck) some time to warm up and hold the choke half after start up ,, until it gets some life in the engine.. good thought thou, holding the choke will flood the carb and cause what your experiencing
