Your timing belt skipped, just had this issue myself last month. Pull the timing cover housing, align crank at TDC and check timing marks. Guarantee that's your culprit.

rwcheatham, As a first step if you can, have the truck scanned for trouble codes, as this could direct you right to the problem. Some of the auto parts suppliers offer free code reading like Pepboys, Nappa, Advanced auto parts,etc and some of the guys are very knowledgeable and may have seen the issue often and put you on the right track.
You can try this just use caution, remove the large throttle body hose and give it a squirt of gas/aerosol starter fluid in the throttle body with the buttery fly open ((be careful while doing this and only a little fuel/aerosol starter fluid)). If it fires and runs a second or 2, this is telling you it is a fuel related issue, clogged gas filter, pinched line, faulty fuel pump(check fuel pressure). There are quite of things that can cause a no start condition Faulty coil pack/ICM/crank sensor/fuel pump,relay,inertia switch if equipped, timing issue, etc.,etc... Find below a couple good links on trouble shooting an engine no start condition. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Check for spark at spark plugs. Open gas tank cap. Nearly turn key and let go. Have some one listen inside gas tank to hear fuel pump running.

Did you run out of gas?
by mayer
@mayer that was my first initial thought when this happened to me last month. Ended up being a timing issue.
by Tucker Cunnington
first off it is not a ford from the links you sent me and if it was a timing belt issue, no matter if it was in time or not, out of timing will not make the exaust gasses go into the cooling system, thanks for your comment
