Be sure the fuel pump interrupt switch has not been triggered. Do they still use those, like the foxbody had? A big pothole or a minor collision could trigger it. Pushing the reset button would get it going again.
As others stated, listed for the pump to run for the prescribed five seconds at startup. If it does not sense pressure in five seconds, it won’t start.

 
I had to relocate mine in the capri I had I could set it off when I took off sometimes.
 

I took my wife for a ride out thru the country today and when I would hit a dip in the road it would bump the middle of the arch on the front fenders. I believe I cut to much coil. I have a new set I could put on. It has 215x55x16 that are 25.3 tall and 8.5 wide the 225x45x17 are 25 tall and 8.9 wide.
the 225x55x16 25.7 tall and 8.9 wide  and the 235x45x17 are 25.3 tall and 9.3 wide.
 

The Nittos run a little wider than other brands as far as tread width. Those sizes should work well with your 7” wheels.

gonna try and run 225x45x17 on front and 235x45x17 on rear.
Been looking at Nitto NT555 tires and BF Goodrich T/A cant decide.

Generally I think most would recommend 4.5 leaf springs.  Better control of wheel hop without an overly harsh ride.  As far as manufacturer I would also suggest checking stock, because these were hard to get the last time this question was fielded.  Most places were out of stock.  I've used Eaton/Detroit spring with great results, but they have gotten pricey in recent years.  

Solid advice, an easy test is to leave the door open and make sure you're in a quiet place. Then turn the key to ON, no need to try to start it, listen to see if you hear the pump run. Like mentioned your should hear it run for a few seconds. If you don't hear it grab the owner's manual and check the relay in addition to the fuse. All that can be done for free. If you do hear it run then as mentioned you can rent a pressure tester.

Fuel injection systems have to build pressure before starting.  When you turn on the key, the computer usually runs the pump for about 10 seconds to pressurize the fuel rail.  Look up how to test the fuel pressure on your truck.  Once you have a tester, just turn on the key and test for proper fuel pressure.  A bad pump should show up right there.

Also, you can check for a fuel system cause of a no start by squirting starting fluid into the throttle body.  If only the fuel is the issue, the engine will start and run for a brief time until the starting fluid is consumed.

What is the current recommended brand of leaf springs that yall are using? std and dropped.

Nice work!  Not criticizing but wondering if you couldn't make that square chunk a little more artsy.  If you scale that cobra emblem and use it as a pattern it appears that the bolt holes would fall within the curvature of the head and upper body, and the spring holes would ball about where the coil on the ground is.   Since the rest of the car is so meticulous, the square plate seems ... pedestrian and out of place to me.
