Okay, then the issue isn't directly fuel related it is that the security system has detected a problem and is shutting off the fuel system as it thinks the truck is stolen. With a flashing security light it means the key is not being detected properly, in the case of GM vehicles that is usually a fault in the sensor that is part of the PassLock system. The sensor is built into the housing that the ignition cylinder is in. To replace it you need to take the steering column apart to get to the housing and the bolts that retain it. Then replace the housing and do a 30 minute relearn process to get the security system to turn off. Replacing the housing is a bit different depending on the actual column in your truck, if it is a tilt column and if it's column or floor shift.
GM 30 Minute Learn Procedure
Turn "on" the ignition
Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to "on".
After approximately 10 minutes the telltale will turn "off".
Turn "off" the ignition, and wait 5 seconds.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes.
Important; the vehicle learns the PASSLOCK Sensor Data Code and/or password on the next ignition switch transition from "off" to "crank". You must turn the ignition "off" before attempting to start the vehicle.
Start the engine.
Before I replaced the housing though I would get a dealer level scan tool and use it to check the security system to see if it shows anything else wrong first as it could be an issue in the body control module or the wiring as much as the sensor itself failing.
