Now it's alive. My father came to visit for a couple of days and we spent some time in the garage and got it working.
I had a resistance issue with the starter cables. Made a quick trip to my local welding store and bought some nice thick 2ga copper cable. That allowed the starter to crank a little harder and pull the fuel pressure up.
According to the DMV, this is the first time in 8 years the truck has moved under its own power.
Here is a picture of my father driving around our cul-de-sac.
