take plugs out clean them or replace them and turn starter over with no plugs in. I flipped mine and found this out what happens is oil fills the cylinder and will lock the motor up. Unless it is turning over then it is something els

Could have bent the shifter linkage.Turn the key to start with one hand and pull the shifter thru the gears with the other.If that dont work then theres a wire pulled loose somewhere.

Do as previously suggested, pull all the plugs out, let the motor crank until all the oil gets blasted out of the cylinders, clean the plugs and fire it up. If the truck was upside down for too long you will have to pull the intake plenum and clean through there. When I rolled mine I had oil all the way down to the air box!

THE MOTOR wont crank.. its not sending a signal to the starter., SO its not going to turn over..
It rolled and landed on its wheels, so the oils isnt going to be a problem, its a wiring or saftly issue,

run a wire strait from the + battery down to the + on starter and see if the starter will turn...If it does, turn your ignition to on and try to start the engine with the wire from battery to starter. It's kinda ghetto but thats what i'd do to find out where the problem is exactly. (oh and be sure its in neutral or park if ya do this)

i know there is a switch in late 80's ford trucks that cuts the power if you get in a wreck. In my bronco it was on the firewall in front of the brake pedal. Might be something to look in to.
