Truck has power but will not start. Help!

I did a quick search but couldn't find any thing and now I'm stuck. I can turn the key on and the dome light comes on and the buzzer comes on for the key in the ignition but when I turn the key over nothing happens. My dash gauges, clock and radio all quit working when this happened. When I turn the key to on nothing comes on. When I turn the key to start the truck, nothing happens at all.

This is on my 89 extended cab with 22RE

All the fuses under the dash and under the hood. All batter and alternator connections. looked for loosed grounds or connections under dash and hood. It all looks good.

I have power to the head lights but no turn signals but the hazards work. Turning the key doesn't even result in a click

Check the starter, and check if the wire is triggering.

all wiring to starter is good and clutch switch is fine. I am getting no power to dash so I can't clutch cancel start or use the clutch to start.

well I figured it out guys. I somehow managed to overlook the 80 amp fusible link I managed to blow under the hood. I'm not really sure how I did that but I was messing around near the alternator so I guess I shorted it there. I replaced that and she started right up. Thanks for the all the input guys!
