Welcome to DF.

Word of advice: use punctuation in your posts. Commas and periods especially make your posts easier to understand, and the more people that understand your posts, the more people there are that are willing to help you. Many people will take one look at a post with no punctuation ignore any future questions you have.

Also, for future reference:

sounds like maybe the pump went out. try a simple swap of the horn relay with the fuel relay if it still dont kick on, then try hittin the bottle of the tank with a rubber mallet and see if u can get it to unlock.

I agree, probably pump. But get a Haynes manual and trace the wires first.

+1 on relay. I had almost exact symptoms a few years back, same year of truck and motor and ended up being the relay. Mine started up but ran very very rough so I shut it off and tried to restart it and all it did was crank and crank and crank. Swapped relay and all was fine.

+1 in relay
+2 on pump.

Check 'em both.

Have you tried pressing down the gas pedal some while trying to crank it? If not, I'd first try holding it down about half way to start. Might help determine if there's a problem with it getting air.
