Yes I would be looking at the crankshaft position sensor
For your age truck, the system had an earlier diagnostic setup. The scanners that read it are not very expensive and such a scanner may reveal the problems.
In your case, some of the issues may be a reaction to the failure to start because there are automatic shut-offs when one part of the system fails. The crankshaft sensor for example controls the volume of fuel by regulating pressure for a given RPM and it okays spark for the engine. So nothing is wrong with the fuel system or the coil, but each is controlled by the crankshaft sensor.
This is why a spray of starting fluid may make the engine run on ether and bypass the automatic shutdown of the fuel system. The engine RPM's may reboot the ignition system.
You can sometimes borrow testing tools from the major autoparts stores. I was also going to say that a stuck thermostat sensor can make an engine too lean to start, but you indicated no fire at coil and you would have ignition power no matter what the temperature sensor indicated.
Check out youtube videos about the crankshaft sensor. Get a scanner for your age of truck, it may save you money.
