1987 22R Black Smoke and Backfires
 

When I start my truck it idles rough, puffs black smoke, and when driving if I accelerate and let off the gas it backfires. Once the truck warms up good it runs great, except it still puffs smoke when you rev up the engine, it also drinks gas like water. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a bad float valve or a stuck choke to me.
