Well boys I got the big wire on battery post and still nothing.
Can you explain where that circuit breaker is again? I want to make sure its not fried.
I just see my starter relay and junction block below on fender wall

I decided to call the vintage electrical guy to have him come get it going. He'll be here tmrw afternoon. Good news its only $25 an hr. 
Gotta love Snohomish and the Community!
After taking a good hard look at the wires, they are obviously so old and hard that nay movement can break them. And I think thats probably the real issue.
I think it will be about $100 or even $200 if I have him do it all. IMO its money well spent to put the electrical gremlins behind!
Thanks again for eveyone's input, Ill be giving yall and update here tmrw and hopefully a little video of her making some noise

Okay, here is the update. The electrical guy came out yesterday and found that my battery was totally shot as well as both battery cables, as well as there were some bad grounds under the hood as well as under the dash.
With that said its cost was $75 for the fix (paid hit $100 ) and he got the truck up and started with power and even fixed my turn signals!
Ill be defiantly recommending his services to anyone here in WA. Next, we will get the brake lights up and running as it was getting late last night.
Again, thank you to all those who helped me trace everything that I could!

Hello y'all. I have a problem with starting. I have just re-wired the entire pickup with a painless kit. My ignition does everything except trigger the start. My dad & I are able to get it running just-quite well, by jumping the solenoid. We think we got a wire or two mixed up between the ign module, coil, solenoid & ignition switch.

Also found helpful to ensure 12-13volts at the battery and alternator.
My truck ended up needing a new battery, starter relay, and battery cables along with starter cable.
Good luck!
