Fuel issues. Need help!

Recently my truck was sitting still and idling and then just quit running. The engine is turning over but it's not getting any fuel. For as much as we were pumping the gas it should've flooded the engine. However it didn't, you couldn't smell any fuel.

My guess is that this is a Fuel Pump problem? Am I correct in my deduction? Could it possibly be a fuel filter just clogged?

I'm betting I'll just have to replace the fuel pump. Any suggestions on a good brand or good place to get a good quality one?

Thanks!!!

It could be a plugged filter but if you have my luck it is probably the pump. pull your fuel line before the filter and turn the truck over. Should be pumping gas. If not, I would replace the pump. just my

I have 3 of these old trucks and none of them has any sock filter in the tank. The open end of the line picks up all the crud in the tank and plugs up at the elbow on the tank. Take the line off the suction side of the tank and blow back through it.
Sometimes you can siphon all the gas out of the tank with a big hose and it will get the crap with the gas, then filter it back into the tank through a chamois in a funnel. If it's real dirty, pull the tank and clean it.
