hahaha... dont worry bud. its hard to read joes typing. first things first. are you getting juice to the rest of the truck? if so then check the solenoid. the one on the firewall might be bad. jump a wire from one big post to the other and see if it cranks. wait... you said the truck wont start, but will it crank? guess i should have started with that question. if it cranks and wont fire then check for 12v to the ip. it wont fire if its not getting power.

Was it the passenger side battery that hit the hood?

Probably ripped the small wire from the positive post to the starter relay out, so no power to anything.
