I replaced switch on dash today now I have power to the tank but fuel pump still doesnt kick on Im wondering if It might also be the fuel selector valve under the truck or just a bad fuel pump.

First off you do not have a fuel selector valve under the truck so I do not think that would be it.
I would guess the bad fuel pump took out the selector switch on the dash.
