Hey guys..yup right on the money..I took the top of the carb off to check the float dimensions..Just hapened to notice the needle was missing! When I took the top of the carb off earlier in the day..the float must have hung up on the bottom part of the carb....increasing the float drop dim..to the point it let the needle fall out..found the needle on the garage floor...put it in..reset the drop.........and the truck started..

Thanks guys..

Keith
