1997 Ford f-150 Wont Start

I have a 1997 Ford f150. I Drove It Home Yesterday, Shut It Off, Everything Was Fine. When I Went Out Today To Leave, It Would Crank, But Wouldnt Start. I Checked The Inertia Switch And It Was Not Popped Up. It Just Cranks And Cranks. I Pressed The Valve On The Fuel Rail Down To See If There Was Any Fuel Pressure And There Was Nothing. Is The Fuel Pump Bad? Any Help Would Be Great. Is There Anything Else I Should Try? Its Just Weird Cause It Was Running Fine Until I Shut It Off, Then Now It Wont Start.

When you turn the truck to the run posistion do you hear the fuel pump kick on? If not you can get underneath and kick the tank, not really hard but hard enough to "jar" it, sometimes this will cause the pump to work.
