must be fule pump week

[parrisc19844x4_468]

My truck has been running fine so far this spring, left it for about 4 days becase of all the rain, went out today to start it up to get ready for next week. It fired right up then quit. They only way I could get it to fire again was to pour gas directly into the carb, it would only run long enough to burn the fuel that I just pored into it. I checked the fuel pressure guage by having my wife bump the starter and it stayed at zero. Can I assume this is the fuel pump? Seem before that my fuel pressue guage would stay around 5-8 pounds even after the engine was off.
