Won't start...

I have removed all of the front clip except the radiator and radiator bracket.
i did all of this under the car port, now i want to move the truck into the garage. Put the battery back in it, and everything seems fine except the starter won't turn. What is the bare minimum i need to start the truck? The voltage regulator, resistor and relay are all hanging, do they need to be bolted up the ground them maybe? I'm really at a loss on this one...let me know what you think.

Oh yeah it's a 78 300...sorry

Duke
