Sounds like you pushing too much fuel into the cylinders. I can't remember if you should have a carb or EFI, but if it's carb, check your fuel pressure and the back of the Duraspark module.

If that truck has the 351 HO motor 4bbl it may be time to rebuild the carb. ReAX hit it right also, check your duraspark box, but sounds like its time to rebuild that carb.
