No fuel to 3 injectors

When bleeding the injector lines on my IDI diesel (which hasn't started in 5 years) am not seeing any fuel coming from two injectors on the driver side and one injector on the passenger side. Would this be likely in the injector pump itself because I cannot see how three separate injector supply lines would become plugged? If it is in the injector pump itself what would be the best means to unplug it?

All help and advice is appreciated

How much cranking did you do to see this? Sometimes after a bit they will fill again. Otherwise with it not running it is hard to get the pump to come out of it. Do you know if it had trouble when parked?
 
I've given it a good bit of cranking so it should have filled all the injector lines by now and I bought the truck in this condition with it not running but it was running when it was parked five years ago

May have to pressurize the fuel on the supply side to see it it will push through.
