Could be a multitude of things, if you get in the truck, have someone listen around the fuel fill area , kinda underneath, turn the key you should hear a growling or whining of the fuel pump for a few seconds.

tell me your findings

sounds like a fuel pump problem. take off gas cap and have someone sit in the truck and turn iginition key to on. (do not turn key as if you were starting but to "on only") you should hear the fuel pump engage. if you dont hear the fuel pump then check the fuel pump relay. it is located behind the glove compartment. hope this helps...
