Mine has electronic choke. But, truck runs kinda weak and sputtery(technical term) when it gets 35* or colder outside. Is there a test I can do that will prove to me the choke is doing it's thing?

Seriously thinking of switching to a manual choke.

Did you download the file on webers yet? Choke adjustment/testing I believe is in there. My 38/38's choke was way off when I first got it and had mix-matched jets installed. And it was supposed to be a shop rebuilt carb.

I did originally do the adjustment etc. when I first installed the carb, it was warm weather at the time and I don't know if the choke even came into play. Only acts squirely when it's cold out.

Could be your carb is icing up due to no exhaust heat getting to the carb like the factory air filter setup and the problem get worse when there is more moisture in the air.

That's very likely to be the issue, that and I have suspected moisture in the tank. Need to pick up some Heet.
