no glow plugs, so thats not the issue. Im leaning towards some crap in the fuel line. Water in fuel is a definite possibility.

Def sounds like fuel. Prime the system. make sure it's got fresh fuel in the hole system. It sounds like it want to go from what you said

problem is, I cant see any way of priming it except for cranking the dog piss out of it, which I hate to do. I would crack the injector lines to the injectors to bleed the air, but the injectors are under the valve covers......

I did check the FSS and it does have power with the key on, so thats not the issue.

Sounds like your lift pump is dead.

If they sit for a while the seals can crack/go bad and leak.

Try this;

Find the pickup tube inside the fuel tank and put it in a coffee can filled with diesel. Prime the fuel filter(s) and have someone crank over the engine and try to start it. If the pump is dead/dying, you will have little to no suction at the pickup tube.

alrite Ill give that try next time. Could I put an electrical pump on it temporarily? I wonder if its the same as my IDI and has a diaphragm that could rupture and pump the crankcase full of fuel......

You can use any pump that will supply the IP with the required fuel pressure (whatever that is). I dont know if its a diaphram pump or not, but if it is, you are most likely correct.
