Ford F-100 Starter Problem

I have a 1971 ford f100 with a 302 and it was sitting on a hill for about six years and i finally got it off the hill and i got her to start after i installed a starter, a fuel pump, an ignition switch, an ignition coil, starter solenoid, and she didn't idle for long before she tried to turn off and now she wont do anything when i turn the key and yes i have checked the battery and it is fine what else could it be please help me

Sitting that long could have the carburetor full of dirt, it might need to be cleaned.
