I believe fuel pressure need to stay above 58psi on this or it will bog down and won't start on its own lower than that. Watched one at 54psi and barely ran w no power,

You said priming this worked so pretty much this is a fuel pressure issue. Neat thought on pressuring up fuel rail with some device but never did that and would probably be inconclusive.
It just might get it to fire if you try that but would quit if not maintaining the pressure of fuel not air.
Chances are this needs a fuel pump and if you can nail that down do get a whole GM part as there are too many reports on failures of the aftermarket ones. I suppose a screwed up regulator for fuel could be the issue but hasn't been to me.
O2 sensor may be a problem but don't think it would prevent it from starting,

Yep, your fuel pressure is too low. This engine requires a minimum of 55PSI to run

pressurized the fuel rail regulator opening at 60psi took a old freon reclame jug put a quart of gas in it a pressurized to 59 lbs attached to fuel rail and it started right up is 60 psi about right for the regulator to start opening?

Gotta hand it to you for some clever tricks and yes if you saw 60 psi it should have started if all else was well.
I think operating range is 58 to 62 psi for these. Hey it's a '99 so if (likely) fuel pump's ability it is pricey but not much choice.
Any vehicle with electric fuel pumps but seems to be more on this one THEY DON'T LIKE RUNNING LOW ON FUEL as that cools the pump so avoid that even if a takes a mortgage to fill it up!

TRITTER - KEEP YOUR "FIRST BORN" AND DEAL WITH THE EXPENSE. Not free if you do that yourself. Hope gas tank isn't full but those can be drained so it doesn't crush you to take it out - oh boy,

This is a pick up. It may be easier to lift the bed off to access the pump than it would be to drop the tank.
