Help me Please????

My Dad just gave me his 1989 Ford F350 with the 460efi. It has been sitting for over a year. Cranked at first but kept acting like it was running out of gas. Changed fuel pump and filter. Nothing. Now when i turn key on I have no dash lights, fuel pumps wont come on,Radio no accessories have power.turn signals,any body got any ideas. Key wont turn to acc. position, do I have multiple problems.

You may have killed the battery. Do you nave a volt meter? Check to make sure you power at the battery. If you do then start checking the fuses.

Guess I should have gave better info. new battery, headlights work, all body lights work, flashers, dash lights come on with headlights. truck turns over great, have fire at distribbutor and plug wires, just seems everything associated with key does'nt work. turn key on and have no dummy lights, radio, key buzzer, fuel pumps don't come on,heater blower, pretty much anything involving turning the key on does'nt work
