Thanks that's my next step. I fuel pressure is low is it just a new fuel pump? Truck ran great before it's 2 year hiatus.

Fuel pumps like to seize up when not being used for a while, so that's where I'd start. Also, check the filter it may be clogged with rust from the tank.

If it has no fuel pressure bump the bottom of the tank with a mallet or something. It may just jar the pump loose and start running. The pump will for sure need to be replaced then. If the pump will not run test for power to the pump and a clean ground wire to frame connection.
