Re: Little help with Carb.
I would suggest starting to eliminate the possibilities at the fuel tank. Is there any fuel flow when a suction is applied to the fuel line? If not start there with the fix. Get all of the old steel line out, CAREFULLY, and replicate it on a work bench.
Without a plan that follows the fuel and then the spark everything is just a random shot in the dark. If a person gets this truck running, by chance, and not know what they did, the situation could rise again. Where would a person start the fix again?
A person should remember, a spark ignited engine does not run on gasoline. Gasoline will not burn without proper vaporization to get oxygen in the mix. I do not like to see gasoline poured down and into a carburetor, unless the fuel is going into the carburetor bowl where it can pass through the jets.
Rather than fret over the fuel line going up and over the frame, it is more important to insure the fuel line is not leaking. Old age and time will cause the fuel lines to corrode through from the inside to the outside.
If you do not have some diagnostic tools like a vacuum hand pump, buy one.

Re: Little help with Carb.
Start at the fuel tank first then move onto the next system.
If you do not have any tools, buy some. Check You tube for some good diagnostic suggestions.
I have used my IHC trucks to support and be my reason to buy lots of tools. If a person is a little short on cash, they might want to shop at HF. I do not buy off-shore tools, but, there has been a very few times when I had to "bite the fortune cookie."
I would consider buying a cylinder leak down tester. If a person knows how to read a compression gauge, that may be a good start. No or vey low compression could mean little or no vacuum at the intake manifold.
Check the exhaust pipe for a rodent nest. If the exhaust cannot get out, the engine will not run.
I have tried to tech my son the basics. By the time he was 10 years old, he would say, "Check your grounds."

To clarify, you have a new fuel line from the tank to the pump? And new fuel in an old tank or new fuel in a new tank?

BTW the best way to prevent a clogged radiator is to pull all core plugs and mechanically as well as with water pressure clean the block and head, then add a coolant filter to trap what works loose after you clean. Either that or disassemble and hot tank.
