Does your truck have a canister purge valve? I have run across several 1 ton trucks leaking vacuum at the canister purge valve.
The canister is disconnected and vac line is plugged. I set the timing a 4btdc. I finally got it cranked yesterday. The temp is coming from the guage 8n the left head. I mounted a new manual guage. I noticed when I took the motor down that the heads and pistols had a white haze on them like it. Was running lean. I repaired the egr lines. The injector flow looked good I haven't checked fuel pressure. I noticed every parts store calls for a 6 blade fan and this truck has a 5 blade fan on it. When that guage goes up I engage the electric fan manually and it doesn't make a difference
