Always go back to the basics: Fuel, ignition and compression. An easy way to check the fuel is to shoot a little starting fluid into the throttle body while someone else attempts to start the engine. If the engine starts briefly or tries to start while you are spraying starting fluid, you have a pretty good indication that you have fuel prolems. An easy way to check the ignition system is to find a spare sparkplug, pull 1 sparkplug wire from the engine an connect it to the spare plug. Lay the plug on a metal surface somewhere on your engine. Have an assistant try to start the enine and watch the sparkplug. If you have no spark, the problem is somewhere in the ignition system. If all else fails, check the compression.

If your truck has a carborator instead of fuel injection you have a float problem. so I suggest that you have your carborator rebuilt. If it is fuel injected you may have a pluged fuel injecter.
