Help! truck Down on power and smoke

Hey everyone, long time lurker here. Normally I can find all of the info I need from reading the other threads but this time I need everyone's suggestions. Truck is what you see in the signature line. The problem that I have is the truck is down on power and really down on smoke (my tailgate would ruin clothes if you leaned on it). The truck has been sitting for a long time as my job has kept me from home, I know the sitting hasn't done it any good just by the new rusty scale on it. I just dropped the tank and put new fuel lines on it along with a new sender as the lines were "moist" looking. I also installed a new over flow valve and today I took apart the AFC housing and made sure there wasn't anything wrong in that department. The line to the afc is good no leaks, no corrosion or anything to hinder the movement of the afc arm. I also checked the fuel heater for a leak but there was none. The only thing I haven't changed yet is the screw on fuel filter, but it has low miles on it. I do have a new filter for it but ran out of daylight and now I have to go back to work(long haul driver not home often). I hope one of you guys can help me. Thanks in advance and I may be slow to reply. Internet access limited while on the road.

Forgot to add 32lbs boost is about the max I can get now, used to have no problem hitting 43lbs and has a miss now between 2000rpm and 2600rpm.
