You may have a bad ignition module in the distributor, you don't say if or how the truck was running before you started throwing parts at it. Hysters & Yales are famous for this problem. Replace or clean the plugs when you change the module because you've been dumping a lot of fuel at them and they'll be soaked by now.

Check your firing order. Could have gotten mixed up when they were replaced.
