Help, she cranks but wont start

I recently let my 96 pass to my Daughter, she called from work the other night to say the truck was cranking but wouldnt start. I responded and popped the hood. after looking around a bit, I noted that the gauge on the air filter box was in the red so I removed the air filter and the truck started and she drove it home. I replaced the filter early next morning but now the truck still wont start so that wasnt the only problem. It has 204k miles on it and has never had an issue with the lift pump or injector pump. I did have a problem a couple years ago with the return line rotting and allowing the fuel to drain out on the ground which I fixed. I know she is overdo for a new fuel filter and that is next on the list. if that doesnt correct the problem, where do I look next????
