Default Engine dies under load.

Hello, the truck starts but only when you prime it with gas down the carb,it will idle nicely but when you hit the gas or try to drive it dies right away, you can hear what sounds like lots of air then if you let off the gas it will come back and idle, so I bought a carb kit from Mikes carb parts and rebuild the factory Rochester single barrel, that did not help, same exact problem. New points, new plugs all with in spec, timed properly, the fuel pump works fine but it sounds like the carb is starving for fuel? I had an old farmer come over to see if he could help, he took apart the carb I just rebuilt and said everything looks good. I’m at a loss. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
