I tried starting the truck but no fuel getting the carburetor the injectors might be bad. Took the injectors off and try them with a 9v battery but not doing nothing. Im frustrated and the injectors cost me $80 each plus $25 for the rebuild kit. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160122/a43962d7ddace92f4a1ece8ea9944e10.jpg)

I'm still confused, is it a TBI (Throttle Body Injection) or a carb?
A carb does not have "injectors", but if it is a Holley it does have 'squirters' (otherwise known as Accelerator Pump Discharge Nozzles). nuff said.
If, in fact, it is a carb, then the accelerator pump is not working.
If it is a TBI, then I have no help for you. I have never worked on fuel injection before.

TBI fuel injector thanks anyway is a little pain in the butt. I think i got it figured out.

No problem, I have worked one time on them long ago, they beat my head in the dirt. I'm older and wiser now, I stick with simple stuff ;D

You need a noid light that plugs in place of the injector. It should flash while cranking the engine. You can rent or buy them from most auto parts stores. At the junction block on the firewall, the wire that comes off it is a fusible link that feeds part of the fuse panel. It should be OK if your fuel pump is running. TBIchips.com has a lot of info.

once you test the signal with the noid light report back. the injectors get the signal to fire from the distributor, the fuel pump gets the command to prime from the ecm and to stay on from the oil pressure switch . you can bypass the ecm/oil pressure switch my running 12v to the 3" red wire on the fuel pump relay.
