I bought a 91 K5 i knew it needed work so i started with Replacing both fuel lines, spark plugs and rebuilt the throttle body. The truck ran (rough)before I did all this work but after wouldn't start! I also had a bad oil leak so I decided to fix that in the mean time. I found out that there was gas in oil. I asked the guy at a local shop about it and he told me to do an oil change, that the gas may have gotten in the oil by trying to start it too much. So I did and it almost started. It cranks strong but doesn't turn over. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
 
Sounds to me like the timing is off.

Do you have a timing light? Disconnect the timing advance wire (by the brake booster, either brown or purple, but its a single weather pack connector), and set timing within spec on core support (0 to 4˚).
 
Thanks I don't have a timing light, but I will get one and start there n see what happens
