Angry engine won't start

i have a 95 chevy sub-1500 2wd fuel inj. carb.
i was in an accident 4 months ago, and the subs front clip was totaled. the only damage to it were body, radiator, and condenser, the engine still ran 2 weeks later at the insurance pool.

2 weeks ago i had time to put everything back together. Now that i have the damn engine won't start. It won't crank, turnover, nothing, not a single noise from the engine. It seems as if there is no power to ignite it.

I have replaced the battery with a new. bench tested the starter which is fine. took out the plugs to see if it seized, it didnt. Now i dont know what else to do. the alternator is about 1 year old. I have power inside the car. my alarm and power accessorys work fine.

anyone have a clue of what i should do next? Im po and without welfare so i cant see a mechanic.

Did you check the fusible links at the starter?

Sorry, wrong year. They are located under the black cover on the passenger side firewall. Check them by poking into the wire with a test light.
