dead bronco

I have a 1980 bronco with a 351. this morning it cranked and ran fine. i shut it down and came back 30 min later and.........nothing. no lights no click from solenoid no radio no fan. the voltage on the battery is 12.6. jumping out the solenoid has no result. ground to engine block and to cab both read fine. i have voltage at the fusebox. if i jump out the s and i terminal on solenoid i get battery voltage running through it. what am i misssing?

It is not in Park.

Apply the brake, shift down to first, then back up to park, then start the truck

Nvm, i didnt read it all, I am driving, lol
