HMMM, I would venture to say that you are not on the right path here. First of all pumpipng the gas pedal with the gas line disconnected from the carb is NOT going to get you gas out of the line. When you pump the gas pedal----all you are doing is wearing out the throttle linkage. The fuel pump has to pump the gas to the carb and then pumping the accelerator pump will charge the carburetor bowls and spray the gas into the intake flow orifices.
Take a look at the front lower corner of your engine (passenger side of the truck); is there a light colored metal item attached to the motor that has a couple of lines running into and out of it. If so, then you have a mechanical fuel pump---one of those lines is going to your carb. If you do NOT have that, then when you turn your key on, the fuel should just pump out of and all over your engine. If you do not have the thing on the motor and fuel does not come out with the key on, then your electric (IN TANK) fuel pump is probably defunct.
If you DO have the pump on the motor, then with the fuel line disconnected from the carb, crank over the engine with the starter and see if there is fuel sprayed out into the engine comparment (Preferrably into a bucket). If it does not, then the mechanical fuel pump is broken and is in need of replacement.
Who did your carb rebuild?---with the background that you have provided, I would hope that someone did it for you. It may be rebuilt wrong and is not put together properly.
