**No crank at all/nothing/nada when key is engage to starting position

Could be a blown fusible link, the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.

I just replaced the ignition in my Thunderbird and when I was replacing it, the passive anti-theft device key fell out and it sounds like what you are describing. If you have this device, may want to check it.
