Truck wont stay running

I have a 87 chevy R10 V8 350 truck. 3 weeks ago I started my truck just fine. Just the other day i went to do start the truck and it wouldnt crank. I charged the battery and installed a new alternator. It still wont crank! I put fuel in the fuel injectors and it started. I can let go of the key every time and it will run up for 3 to 5 seconds then die. What can be causing my problems.

Are you able to keep the engine running if you blip the throttle and feather lightly?
Does it restart each time you crank it after stalling?
