first start in over 6 months!!!
ok u guys might have seen my post a long time ago that i was rebuilding my truck.well took the homemade flat bed off. fuel lines. cab .fuel tanks..just about every thing.made some more money and wire brushed my frame and coated it black.. replaced all fuel lines witch was a bitch...and replaced rear fuel tank(front will be added later on) and i redid all my breaks.then came the cheap way to lift my truck with a 3 inch body lift but had some problems..had to cut my steering shaft and had to make my own front radiator supports. for my interior i redid everything besides the dash..
now my main problom was getting it to start again sence i replaced all fuel lines. need some ideas and i already tried starting it while my buddy held in that little valve stem thing on the fuel filter and it still wont start
if u have a better way id love to know so i can get back to rollin coal.

here is one trick, buy a squeeze bulb pump like on a outboard fuel line at auto parts store install it before the engine mounted lift pump, loosen the fuel line at the ip and pump till you get fuel this will save alot of battery and sarter stress.
