stumble

It's been a while since I last posted on here, but my truck hasn't had any problems for a while. I have a 69 f100 with a 360 and a 2barrel. Today it was unusually warm here in michigan. In the 70s. We went from 30s last week to the 70s this week and now my truck has a bad stumble or miss until I get going about forty. Sounds like I'm missing a spark plug. So I messed with the choke with no luck and I leaned out and even tried making the carb run richer with no luck. The only thing that is different about today is the weather and that today I filled the tank up all the way instead of the normal quarter of a tank that I usually keep it at. I didn't think that the fullness of the tank could effect the way it would run but maybe I'm wrong. It ran fine until I got a few miles from the gas station. All winter it has been running richer than snot so I hoped with the warmer weather I could lean it out and get better mileage. What do you guys think I should look for as the problem.
thanks a lot

Sounds like you may have picked up some water with the gas. Bet it was a Racetrack station. Filled up in Detroit at one and had problems all the way home to N.C.
