One thing I do notice is that the rubber pass-thru grommets on the valve cover are badly worn (these are the inlets of the air tubes off the carb). Can those lead to a strong gas smell as well?
Sure, definitely replace those, they're well overdue. Careful, don't wanna' drop a piece in your valves. If I were you I'd replace all fuel, vapor, and vacuum hose. Short perhaps A/C hose through the cab.

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
