I agree, crack open the middle banjo bolt and hit the prime button until fuel squirts out (if you use a 12" wooden dowel, it makes priming a whole lot easier on your thumb). Then close the banjo bolt.
Hold accelerator pedal down while your cranking. Its should run, but it will run rough for the first few minutes.

Ah, then its most likely your fuel shutdown solenoid. Basically, when you turn the key it pulls the solenoid up (you can verify this by actually feeling the solenoid move) - so what is likely happening is that the solenoid is not being held in the run (up) position.
This will explain it a lot better as well as tell you how to adjust it:
Diesel Hard Start Diagnosis
Might need to clean up your linkage and worst case get a replacement.
This should help as well:

BTW, I would look at chaning all the rubber feul lines on the truck - they are likely dry rotted after 13 years.

Yes. That is most definitely the place I would start. I would remove the solenoid, clean it up inside the boot and readjust - that should be your problem.
