Trying to change from a throttle body to a carburetor fuel system will be a complicated nightmare. You would have to change the fuel pump, filter, delete pressure regulator, throttle controls and the computer would not run any of it anyway. Strange thing is that your truck has parts for both systems but a conversion is not practical. It would be easier to fix what you have. First test for fuel pressure...does the pump run? Check pump fuse, relay, fuel filter, pressure regulator, clogged injector at throttle body. My carbureted 1979 Datsun (Nissan) had rusty gas tank and clogged filters constantly. Check fuel filter first.
