As the truck sits a few days the fuel level in the carb will start to drop and the float valve(s) will open. If the fuel pump has some age and its check valves don't seal completely the fuel line up to the carb will drain down to the fuel level in the gas tank. Possibly even lower than the fuel pump? And, if the pump is a bit tired getting the fuel back up may take a couple extra moments.
You could double check the output pressure & flow of the fuel pump.
