If there's no fuel at the rail and all other possibilities have been ruled
out (voltage/ground check at fuel pump or pump running verified), pressure
regulator is a possibility (normally the pump is plugged at the pickup or
clogged at the pump). Is there any fuel coming out the test port at all?

well if you're getting none at all and the fuel pump is running, you've got
to be looking for a clogged line or filter or pickup, I'd expect.
I would assume a regulator could also get completely FUBAR and stop flow
completely, but I really don't know what one looks like having never needed
to dive into my fuel system (/me knocks on wood) so I'm not sure how
possible that would be.

what year truck is yours, again?
