I've got an angle finder and I'm ready. I'm going to level the carb and get the end of trans at like 3-4 degrees right? Same with axle... not welded to seats yet... but I need to make sure it's not perfectly lined up. Or so I'm told.

Just like the articles in the link will tell you -- the centerlines of the transmission and the pinion yoke should be parallel, and you should shoot for each angle being 3 degrees (optimally), to achieve that parallelism.
If you line everything up perfectly at zero degrees instead of 3 degrees, the truck will be a big tuning fork and you'll be able to take it out for a butt massage.
Leveling the carb is a good thing but, in my opinion, not as critical as drive train geometry.
