Hello, easy first check is to see if you have spark, I'm not sure what the other strange symptoms are yet, hearing a knock in the engine is not a good sign, it's a pretty old truck, but that may just be a fuel knock when it is getting ready to stall. Basically, that knocking noise could just be the engine igniting off of the remaining fuel that is in the engine. Which means we could still have spark, but we need to start checking to find out.

Here is a guide that will help with checking the fuel pressure as well because it may just be a fuel pump at this point:

I doubt it is compression but that is a possible cause as well.
But figure out what you're missing first, spark, fuel, compression. and then go from there.
Thanks
