1986 Other Dodge Models Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 1986 dodge d-150, it has a 360 engine with a quadrajet carb, I have changed the following: plugs, wires, cap & rotor, base gasket for carb, both fuel filters, fuel pump, have cleaned out the gas tank. The problem that I am having is that when my truck gets up to temp. It wants to stall. It will feel like its starving its self for gas which causes the chugging and then it will just stall. Doesn't matter if it's on a hil or not it will just quit. Have been to a number of different shops and asked what could be wrong and they all don't know anything other than what I have changed. After I fix something it works fine for about a day or 2 then starts doing it again. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am getting very frustrated with the truck.

Check to see if your choke plate I sticking or not opening all the way when warm. You might also hae the idle set to low causing this when in gear. If you can take it to a pro they may be able to look at it and fix it, but there will be a charge.
