If the ecm doesn't see oil pressure after 2 seconds it will cut off power to the pumpBad fuel pump relay or blown fuse.

ON SOME CHEVY VEHICLES THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH HAS A DOUBLE RELAY BUILT INTO IT THAT IF IT IS BAD WILL ALSO FEED THE FUEL PUMP EVEN WITH THE IGNITION OFF

As well if the inertia switch was tripped that will also stop power to the fuel pump.

Would this cause the HVAC #21 fuse in the inside of truck to keep blowing?

No. When a fuse blows it stops power from getting to the attached devices. It would power off and stay off. IF the fuel pump was attached to a self-resetting circuit breaker, then the power might cycle on and off.
