Start jiggling wires when it does it. Does it only have trouble when it's a hot start?

No. Its random. I got it to run this morning, shut it off, no start. It did the same thing 20 minutes later. I am not getting power out of the fuse block to the fuel pump power wire.
Make sure the bulkhead connection through the firewall is tight. Had mine do that once, the screw holding the 2 halves together had backed out

Same problems before but random circuits. I separated the bulkhead connector, brake cleaned the goo out, wire brushed all the terminals and gooped it back together. Solved my random circuit cutout problem as well.
That was the first thing I did this morning, no love after.

I noticed you replied in the midst of my second thought but anyways what about the pump connector? The LS swapped baby Blazer I did has a bad connector I'm guessing. Wiggle it a bit and it fires.
Checked that as well. Like i say, i am getting nothing out of the firewall to the fuel pump.
Ignition switch pooping out?
If i pour gas down the throttle body it starts. Which leads me to believe the ignition switch is good

Ignition module? IIRC with a bad module it can still start with gas dumped down the throat.
Ground?
I think i have it fixed. Combination of a questionable wire and loose ground. I hope that was it.
No.... oil pressure switch again.
You bringing lots of fluids to launch into the stratosphere?
Of course
I broke a bunch of shit this weekend. I decided to get stupid ( and maybe @Richcz28 talked me into it) and hit a whoop section which kind of launched the truck. Landed real hard, on the gas, and I think I bottomed out the driveshaft. From what I can tell just looking at it, I think the only thing I broke is the adapter from the trans to the T-case. A big thank you to @jekquistk5, @zimmer76, @Alan2smiley, @Deuling and everyone else who helped get me out, especially Dave for letting em use his truck and trailer to get my junk back to Nate's. Anyway, here are some pics from random photos on the Dunefest facebook page:

Awesome good job with the carnage
