Sounds like you flooded it .or your getting way too much fuel.Pull all your spark plugs oil cylinders with a couple squirts of motor oil spin engine over then install a new set of plugs. What heat range what spark plugs are you using?

If they are gas fouled your engine will not start .Gas washes down cylinders you loose compression that's the reason you oil cylinders to get compression .Some times you can heat up your spark plugs burn fouled gas off them use a propane torch .I'd pull plugs oil cylinders if spark plugs are fouled out try cleaning plugs reinstall see if you can get it fired up .You may have to putt new plugs in if old ones are fouled real bad and won't clean up I personally would use Motorcraft or AC delco plugs

and when you turn the key on do your idiot lights illuminate you should see a check engine light of some sort why did you replace all those parts . sounds like the fuel was not burning or the engine flooded out. does the truck crank fast at all and what do you mean about the fuel pump you need to get the codes
did you do a leak down or just a crank

Run compression check make sure your getting spark to plugs maybe now your not getting fuel check all 3 of these .You need compression' fuel ' spark and air if you have all of these it should run as long as timing is right

do you have a tachometer and as far as compression and fuel and everything else you could be here all day are you able to get the codes off the truck how many miles are on the engine. you should use a spark tester that can check kv output. doe it smell like gas around the engine if so just to see you could disable the fuel and try cranking pull the vacuum line of the pressure regulator look and see if any fuel is in it during a crank
never mind about the miles what are your compression readings all cylinders close to the same

ok they sound pretty even do you have a fuel pressure gauge if it wont start with starting fluid then it sounds like you have to much fuel and it will not fire have you pulled the plugs since the no start.
