Unknown issue

I have a big issue that I can't seem to work out, as you will see in the YouTube video link below. My 68 F100 with original 360 engine will start and run only with full gas pedal, but dies shortly after and runs quite roughly during.
In addition to the items new I mention in the video, the following items are new as well;
Fuel filter, fuel pump, coil, plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor, oil and filter
The following items are newer; vacuum lines, Ignitor II.

The story behind it:
I took it into the transmission shop that had rebuild my C6 for a leaking pan gasket, only to receive it back not running. For some reason it took a week and a half more than the two days quoted and I had to call them several times as they would not call me...strange. They let me try to start / work on it for a while it before coming out and to telling me that the truck never ran the whole time it was in the shop. I DROVE IT IN!!!!

Any Ideas??

First things first. Get your truck outta there. Second are you sure its the tranny?

Had the truck towed to my home and after a lot of work got it going today. The tranny was gone and the rebuild did work until the leak. Now the transmission will only go into reverse, I think due to low fluid (from the leak...yep still leaking even after the 'repair'!). It's backed in my driveway, therefor on a slant forward and showing half way to the 'needs fluid' line while idling in park after running through the gears.

Is the vac line connected at the right rear of the c/6 modulator ? Sounds like a bad vac leak.

Get a lawyer and get your money back from The Three Stooges then take your truck and your settlement to a AAA approved repair facility.
