I have the cab off my truck. I have the starter hooked to the solenoid. I have the solenoid hooked to the battery and have the battery grounded. I can't get the spark plugs to spark. What else do I need to hook up to start my truck?

Do you have power going to the ignition coil? I would use a test light to confirm the power at the coil, this guide should help:
