First Post / Not Getting Fuel
Ok, Im new here and new to restoring a 1986 F-150 V6 4WD. I have owned the truck for 4 years, used it for 2 during my home renovations and it has sat for 2. I always wanted to work on it and the wife agreed she would like to so life is easier 
. Anyhow it has sat up from my garage for 2 years now, being started a couple times during that time. I plan on bringing it to the garage before winter for an almost complete teardown, however, yesterday when I went to start it, it seems to be not getting gas. I put fresh gas in (about 2 gallons) and it started fine with ether a couple times but the is no fuel smell or reason for me to believe its getting the gas. What should I do next? Im ok mechanically inclined and have basic tools.

Replace all the rubber fuel lines - see my split line
Had similar troubles, replaced all the rubber lines... this section from the firewall forward - would not allow it run with a load on the truck...
