What has probably happened is that your fuel pump in the front tank has cratered, and will need to be replaced. You don't specify what model year of truck you have. If it is after 1990 there are only 2 fuel pumps, one in each tank. If it is 1990 thru mid '80s then there are three pumps, one in each tank and a booster pump.

I replaced one pump already, they cost about $150.I'd look in your shop manual to see if you can test it before replacing it. Your selector switch could be the problem as well.
