thanks for all of the comments. I went ahead and bought some starter fluid and spraye it into the throttle body. Waited about two or three seconds then started her up. She started up fine. Wow its good to hear her roar again. 
. Now that i know it is a fuel problem i might have to see if it is my injectors, fuel pump or anything else. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like a weak fuel pump. Check the fuel pressure. Sometimes a weak one will start and run, sometimes it won't. What really sucks is when they intermittently don't pump enough (like when they are hot), that makes it hard to pinpoint.

I wish i could check the fuel pump pressure but for one i dont have a pressure gauge and for two i have a hunch that it is my fuel pump. My tank usually last me a little over 225 miles or so. I mostly drive highway. Usually when i am reading about 100 miles into the tank the fuel gauge is right around the halfway point. On this last tank, when she didn't start anymore, the gauge is about 3/4 full with a little over 100 miles. Since my electric fuel pump is located in the tank, i am thinking that it wasn't pumping the right amount of fuel to the engine.
Anyone know of an easy way to replace it. I for sure have to take apart the tank but ii just want to know if there is any trick that might save me some time?

Where is the relay switch anyway. Someone on here said it was near the passenger side kick panel but the 96' F150 doesn't have a fuse box there. Only on the drivers side under the wheel and under the hood.
