How much fuel is in it?
If it is below 1/2 tank the pickup tube may have a crack in it that is sucking air.

what year truck do ya have? Were ya off roading before it happened and you broke a fuel line? Try loosening a fuel injector line to front cylinder on the drivers side and see if fuel is coming to the cylinder while cranking the engine ;and work backwards to the filter. The lift pump may have taken a dump on you and not supplying fuel to the injection pump. OR the on/off wire fell off the pump. remember DONT OVER WORK THE STARTER. Let us know what you discover.
