Stupid question but need some help please

Might be a stupid question but I took the starter out of my truck but I left my windows down I hooked my batteries back up but no power to turn the truck on enough to roll up the windows does the starter need to be hooked up to get power to the truck? Of do I have another problem. Truck was fine before I messed with the starter

Why did you take the starter out?
I'd say you have another problem

Sorry it took so long to reply been busy putting this truck back together. the batteries are good I had the cables on the solenoid that's hooked to the fenders crossed nub mistake lol. Thank you for checking in. I have another question for you my truck is a dually and from what I was told it was originally a single wheel truck when the guy bought it he converted it to a dually AOL naturally I figure new rear axle and front wheel hubs but I took the wheel of to get it repaired and saw this is it a spacer to fit the front style dually wheels or is this what the front dually hubs look like?

Your front hub looks different than my SRW to DRW conversion 1986. I won't be home for about 5 more days but if this thread stays busy until then I'll post pics of mine and answer questions with pics of how the rear looks too

that is a Spacer.... think you need Special socket to remove it. I have heard some folks have had luck with Jam nuts to get the studs out.

this is what my front hubs look like.
