That's why I was saying spray starter fluid in the carb because that would take the place of fuel and the truck should fire up for a second or 2 then die. I'd check the things JT said. If that checks out then you can remove the fuel line from the inlet side of the filter and see if you get any fuel flow with the ignition on, BE CAREFUL which goes without saying but I just have to add it. If you have a good steady flow out of the line then the filter is most likely clogged, if you have no flow then you know you have something wrong with the pump.
Do you have a multimeter available? If not now would be the time to spend the $20 and order one from Harbor Frieght. They are worth their weight in gold. With one you can test the lines at the fuel pump and see if you have any current there. A test light will sort of do the same thing but the multimeter will tell you if you have 12v there or just 2v, if it's not 12 then somethings wrong with the wiring.

That's the one I got, granted it doesn't have fancy auto ranging it's still pretty good for $20.

Since you've checked about everything, probably just a minor part that's causing you this problem...
