Well good news I got it running and it wasn't anything I thought it would be. So simple it was stupid. The cat is plugged up. I pulled the o2 sensor and got to screwing around forgot to put it back in. Tried to start the truck for no reason other than to hear it turn over and it started and ran fine. Sometimes its good to be scatter brained. Thanks to all who helped me with this problem.

Filled tank, drove home..... dead van...... installed fuel filter with pressure valve to hook the gauge to. Nice fat zero..... So.....tow to the shop, jacked up the van, stuck some jackstands under the axle, supported gas tank on the jack, with a board between, pulled the straps loose, started lowering the tank..... and one corner caught on the frame rail...... didn't close the valve fast enough, the tank shifted, RIPPED the lines loose, fell off the jack, landed on a corner, and rapidly dumped 24 gallons of gas onto the shop floor........ Fortunately, my partner in crime in the next bay held off sparking up the torch.....
About 500 pounds of floor dry later....... I got another tank from the junkyard, put the new pump in, threw some gas in the van, and drove it away.....
My friend that owns the shop still points and snickers every time someone mentions "fuel pump" when I am around. Hell, he probably does it when I am NOT there........
Oooops?
