Couple of questions? You said the truck has been sitting. If it has been sitting for more than a year you may need to drain the tank. Did you put a new fuel filter and new rubber fuel lines on? Any little piece of trash can cause the needle not to seal in the carb.
Good luck and let us know how it goes. I just did all of that 2 weeks ago on my 67 with the same 250 1 barrel.

It’s not been sitting for several years - I’ve driven it semi-regularly until about 2 months ago when I saw one drip of gas from the carb - that made me quit driving it until I was in a position to rebuild the carb.
The fuel filter is the sintered bronze type - I soaked it in carb cleaner - I haven’t put new fuel lines on it...I just thought I would eliminate the gas drip by rebuilding the carb.
