Sometimes just letting it sit for a few hours will allow it to restart if it was flooded.
The routine way of dealing w/a flooded engine at restart is to floor the throttle (w/o pumping it at all!) and hit the key. This allows as much air through as possible.
If no go, take the plugs out and see what they look like. If they're wet, leave them out and crank the engine over a few revolutions and let it sit.
When you get ready to try it again, make sure the plugs are dry before replacing them, and be sure the
wires are correct.
What type ignition is on this truck? HEI, points, or ?
The carb "list" number will be stamped into the choke tower.
