I have 94 ford f250 with 351 engine I use around the farm. I use it to pull my stock trailer so today I start truck had to crank it quite a while but it starts. This is odd because this old truck always starts right up. Load 6 700lb steers up and start out driveway. I have a fairly steep driveway but truck spits and sputters will not pull the hill until I put it in low range in 4 wheel drive. Make it to nearest gas station about 2 miles stop and put 10 gallon gas in and dump 2 bottles gas line deicer in. Truck runs fine to sale barn and back home again about 40 miles. Must have been ice in tank? Its been around 0 the last couple nights here in sw Wisconsin. Hope it keeps running ok.
 
had the same kind of issues on the way to work monday forgot to grab the cell phone was about half way through my 30 minute commute and my truck started running realy badly making 9 M.P.H. chugging and spittting limped into work(was never so glad to see the place) at lunch I fired it up,and ran down town and got 2 cans of heet dumped in the tank problem solved
 
I haven't had a problem or bought a bottle of heet since they started putting ethanol in the gas. I think I have a bottle of heet that's 25 years old, it's half gone from evaporation without ever being opened.
 
You will not have any water left in the tank if it is down to 0, it is already ice. Carburetor icing is usually not an issue when it is that cold either.

I would bet on to little choke.
