... begining. Truck stopped why? You sure you ran out of gas? Maybe some other problem instead, and this would explain why you still have it?
Assume nothing - constant suspicion is the order of the day.
Engine needs two things to run: spark and gas. You have spark? Got ignition wet maybe? ("It's been pouring rain..."). Try a couple of good spritzs of carb cleaner down the carb, then try it. If it runs for a few seconds then dies, it's gas. If not, probably spark.
