After being ripped off with a guy in California I finally after 5 months of putting right what he sold me I drove my 3600. My joy was short lived as it runs really bad, I think I have it running too rich ?, it got gradually worst to drive with performance and became lumpy. The rear of the truck was covered in black sut, I think the rear bumper on my 54 is not helping being only 2 inch behind and in line with the exhaust pipe. So the smoke / heat is hitting the inside of rear bumper, can this make it run bad too ???.

It actually sounds like you need to go through the carburetor and give it a tune up. Check the compression while your at it, this give you an idea of what condition the engine is in.
