Are you sure you have spark? Easy check.. clip an inductive timing light over #1 plug wire.. have a buddy crank the engine while you pull the trigger on the timing light.. if the timing light fires.. you have spark.

If you have spark.. try using starting fluid down the carb (spray small amounts only).

I ran into a similar problem when I first tried cranking up my engine after it had sat for a while. In my case it turned out to be the fuel pump. The old one was working just enough so I could smell gas.. but wasnt feeding the carb enough to run the truck. Best of luck
