Update on the truck
I managed to get the carburator working like it should again.I simply took off the top half of the carb where i could get to the bowl where the float and needle valve is.I think took a clean old rag and sopped up all the gas out of the bowl and while i was doing that i noticed the bowl was full of all kinds of trash like i found in my fuel filters previously(Rust Deposits From The Gas Tank)but anywho i got all the gas out and then took about i dunno 12 or so cue tips and cleaned the float,bowl,needle valve and all that good stuff then bolted it all back together (The gasket that goes in between the bottom and top part of the cab looked to still be in great shape so i just reused it).Now she idles great,Doesn't back fire through the exhaust no more & has quiet a bit of noticeable power that it didn't have before.While im on the carb subject does anyone know why when you rev it up to say 3,200 rpm (don't have a tachometer in my cluster so im guessing by the sound of the motor and exhaust) it starts squealing from the carb kind of like the sound of a dying bird trapped in the carburator?...Could it be a leaky base plate gasket?

Not right off hand buddy i sure don't i do know they however i bought them off of a 97 Extended Nissan Pickup 4x4 i cleaned them up an painted them and everything of course but i'm not really sure on the backspacing all i know is that there 10"s wide and there pretty darn deep dished as well.To the best of my knowledge they are just your standard 10' wide steel wheel so if you can find the back spacing specs on a regular 10' wide rim then the backspacing should be the same as the ones i've got.lol sorry if i sound confusing i just never have went by backspacing i have always threw them on the truck if i liked the way it looked i bought them lol.Thank your for the compliment by the way.

I tried the same thing on mine and couldnt hear anything. I would check your base plate and other connections. Does sound like a vacuum leak.
Have you tried any starting fluid around the connections while idling and seeing if it revs or affects the idle?

Bummer
Well i haven't gotten to post anything in awhile or updated in a bit.The only thing thats really changed is i got a nice new killer dent in the side of my bed.Sometimes i think its impossible to keep a body looking decent on a toyota truck.
P.S. Here is a good pic of the first time the truck ever seen a little mud.I done this trying to get back into my fishing hole the other day after it rained.
