As far as the cutting out, you'll probably want to rebuild the carb and then adjust it for your engine. Was your truck running fine before you put the carb and intake on?

Have you considered checking junkyards for whole beds for your truck? LMC -should- have them (check their website, www.lmctruck.com)...but if you buy from them, be prepared to pay an arm and a leg. I would think getting a different bed would be easier too, since you wouldn't have to weld or anything.
