Default NEED HELP. Engine wires

Hey guys I haven't been on here in a long time but I really could use the help bc my friend that's supposed to help me (he's a jeep mechanic) is dicking me around n won't help me finish my truck. We just did a stock swap bc my motor was blown but now I was stuck putting wires n what not on my myself. The truck came with a kill switch (hate the thing) n I tried everything with it to get the truc started after I hooked everything up (or so I think). For some reason my fuel pump won't give fuel to my rail and the starter kicks like a dead battery. I honestly think it could just be a dead battery or a sensor not hooked up n it won't send fuel or something.... If anyone would know the problem please answer. I haven't been able to drive my truck all summer and my parents are pissed I'm using one of theirs to go to work.... Please respond ASAP I need the truck back on the road by 9/3/13 (school).... Even comment if you want me to be more specific.

First, Try to put a charge the battery. You will never get her running if you have a dead battery and we can work from there. Second, find new friends.

Yes, charge the battery. Then take it to a parts store to have it tested. Also, clean both ends of your battery cables very well.
