that sounds normal with the fuel that we have now a days, make sure that your tail pipe does not go straight out the back but goes out the side of your rig.

Yeah, gas with ethenol in it smells terrible, but it does sound like you have a rich condition and maybe an eshaust leak right under the cab. It's got a carb so any number of things can make it smell and run rich.
