What about the original carburetor was "shot". What were the symptoms that you had them look at it for?Did they test drive truck any distance when finished? I agree,3 "bad" carbs is iffy,possible but not likely.
Does truck have original fuel pump and 3 nipple metal inline fuel filter. Whereabouts did you smell gas front,back of the truck.
Did you check to see if it had spark when it wouldn't start? Pull a plug wire off,stick a spare plug in it and lay on engine and crank and look for spark.
Does truck still have charcoal canister installed and hooked up? As they fail small pieces of charcoal travel up into the carburetor causing a flood condition. A gas filter can be installed inline and allow gas fumes to pass but not charcoal. A clear filter will show charcoal particulates.
