No need to bleed the system, also if you have a volt meter, check for voltage at the pump with the key on, remember the pump only runs for 20seconds, then shuts down.
On edit: There is no sound from a glow plug heater, there is a small click from the Glow plug relay, not sure if your are talking about the click from the relay as the sound you were hearing. Your vac pump also should not run on every start up, only when it runs out of vac, which depends on if you have a leak or not.

yea the reset wasent tripped i still pushed on it. good idea on blowing through the lines from the pump back. if i do that will i need to bleed the system if so how. and if the pump were bad or an obstruction from the pump back would that cause the white smoke and all...
If no noise rom the pump, take a test light and make sure it has power right after key on. If it's powered, then it's time for a new pump.

the two posts at the pump, there are only two leads going to it. Hook it between the leads, if you read a negative number, your poles are just reversed. That is your voltage, key on and before 20 seconds run out, you should have over 10 volts to the pump.

If you have power to the pump, (I am pretty sure you do) then the pump is dead.
One trick that I have learned is to give the pump a thunk with a hammer handle or rubber mallet. Or a "love tap" with the hammer head. Enough to wake it up.
What happens is the brushes and the communtator inside wear out and the pump stops running.

The jarring that you give it sometimes wakes it up for a few minutes, but all that really does is confirm that you need a new fuel pump.
Give it a thunk and if it starts running, start the truck and move it to where you want to work on it, then go buy a fuel pump, using a different vehicle.

nice pic of commutator wear dan!
Quick way to check for fuel pressure is to depress the schrader valve in the fuel lines, should spray out so protect your eyes.
As far as obstructions, your pushing 50+ psi in there, plus a pre-filter. An obstruction doesn't seem likely. Fuel pumps are a failure item though.

To bleed your fuel system, cycle the key to run (not start), and let the fuel pump run till it turns off (about 25 seconds). The first time do this with the cap off the fuel bowl, and make sure it fills the bowl, replace cap. Repeat 6-8 more times(with the cap on the fuel bowl). Start truck.
