I'd check to see if the catalytic converter is clogged. It can definitely cause those symptoms and it's pretty old if it has never been changed! You would have to take it to a shop to have it tested though because it isn't easily done without special equipment.

Bogs down when throtttling,even at high speeds

Clean your MAF (mass air flow sensor).

Google a Youtube video on how to do it.

You just need electrical parts cleaner or MAF cleaner.

Rebuilt carburator and truck runs rich. Cant get adjusted right and under accelereation truck boggs down

im pretty sure that the float adjustment is set wrong, if to high it will act as if truck is flooding out, and be very rich. if to low you will not get the power you need. readjust float level. make sure there is no dirt inside carburator. for adjustment turn screws way in and back out 1 and a half turns.start from there.
