sounds like vapor lock. Which means the carb is getting hot and evaporatinng the fuel. It is usually caused by a bad carb insulator or pluged water passeges in the manifold. A real easy check is to fill a couple of zip locks half full of ice water and put them around the base of the carb. If it runs longer you are having vapor lock. This was also a old drag racer trick to get more horsepower. The ice water will cool the air charge resulting in a better fuel/air mix. It could also be a pluged fuel filter but I don't think so since it is temp related and not run time related. The carb insulator on these old trucks was made up of about 6 carb gaskets stapled or glued together. Modern engines usually use a aluminum spacer.
