Point #1: Killing batteries only puts a lot of wear on your starter. If it doesn't show signs of starting right away don't keep winding it over.
Point#2: I would consider dirty fuel. Blow out your fuel line from the carberator backwards so you dont pack dirt into the carb. Flush the tank and install a inline fuel filter. You may have to disassemble the carb if the fuel was real dirty.
Point#3 It takes fuel and spark to have combustion. Pull off a high tension wire and see if you have spark to ground. If not you may also have to change points and condensor. (consider distrib cap and rotor too) If it was running the coil is probably Ok.
I would do a compression check as well.
Next time do all ths before you pay the $$$ and put it on the truck.
