Did this just start one day or did the truck sit for a long time and now you're trying to get it going again. If it's the latter case it could be bad full. Worst case scenario, did you check and make sure you have compression?

Have you tried to spray starting fluid into the TBI to verify it's not a fuel problem? Should run for a sec, if not, the problem could be somewhere in the ignition system. Has the distributor been removed and reinstalled? Is the firing order right?
