Hey the concept is on track! Alternate would be to take the hose off the muffler and blow into it until the fuel line to the carb is full. Whatever floats your boat. Or cover the exhaust with your finger while cranking the moter.

Whatever the method, make sure the fuel is getting to the carb.

If your just guessing and really have no clue of what it could be that is causing his problem don't post it! Some of the things some of you say is? I won't even say what. WOW! Lets try not to confuse the new guys any more then you are.

As already stated reset your carb to factory setting, make sure your getting fuel to the carb and no don't flood it, even though your glow plug is new does not mean it is good. Make sure it's glowing. Check and make sure your head is on tight. How old is this truck??? The more info you can give us the better we can answer your questions.
