New to FTE from the frozen North

Good morning all, I just joined the FTE to gain info and advice from people who have been there and done that. I am a previous Ford owner (1977 F150 FWD I6 4speed). Best truck I ever owned. Never quit just rusted away. Now I am trying to rebuild a 1979 F150 FWD(400, Auto). That being said I could use some help. I replace the cab with a 1973 cab. Gutted the interior, replaced floor pans, and cab mounts, Took the wiring harness out of the 79 and put it in the 73 cab. problem I have is the when you turn the key the engine won't crank. Help Please!!!

Hey there! welcome to FTE and good morning to you too. you'll find plenty of help for your project in this chapter: 1973 - 1979 F-100 & Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

And this should be your regional Chapter: Michigan Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Again, welcome! and since you're from the North don't you forget: "Winter is coming" .
