Not sure dont have a gauge, if any injectors were stuck open wouldn't I completely lose pressure after having it sit without the pump turning on?

Yes, the pressure would bleed off, but that does not answer the question. Just because some fuel spits out the test port does not mean it's enough pressure for the truck to start and run.

Just because I had some injectors, I put them on the 351 still nothing. when I pulled the plenum off a little oil dripped out of it. I'm assuming that is from the PCV valve being open but I dont think that would keep me from running and at least starting.

That small amount of oil will not prevent the engine from starting or running.
