I think this is a divorced choke setup. You should have a rod attached to the choke flap that is a few inches long. The rod attaches to a spring looking thing that is fastened to the exhaust manifold. If I am correct, you will need to bend ( shorten or lengthen ) the rod to make the choke close more or less. This adjustment needs to be done after the truck has sat overnight ( best ) or for several hours and the engine is cold to the touch. The choke should be set by opening the throttle all the way ( engine off) and then check the tension on the choke flap. Bend the rod until you are happy!
