Once the truck starts, it usually stays running, it sometimes likes to stall when I'm at a dead stop and shifting it into gear.
I was told the spark plugs were all fine and working by the students working on it.
How much suction should there be with the carb off, the teacher said he felt very little.

What do you mean by 'suction with the carb off'? Intake when you crank?
Weak pressure off the fuel pump (due to an ethanol soaked diaphragm) or spark plugs with too cool a heat range could cause difficulties but probably not after time. Maybe a weak coil breaking down as it overheats?
"Stall(s) when I'm at a dead stop and shifting it into gear" ...is that a learning how to drive standard issue???
Like most problems, you'll puzzle and puzzle until you finally find it and kick yourself because of how obvious it was.
