new points/condenser , cap rotor, coil, plugs + wires, fusebox, alternator, voltage reg, still no spark. Ignition switch possibly?

truck just stopped running outside my job site after work one day(thankfully after work not on my way). It was warming up then all of a sudden lost power traced it to spark, i had no spark and its going to get towed soon and I dont have the cash to pay for it. Not the fuse box mine is very clean. Not the coil its brand new. Not burnt out points. Not sure I even tried hot wiring the coil but with no avail wich should bypass the ignition switch and it still didnt turn over it will crank and crank but I have lost it with this I think the truck is cursed or Satan. Any help would be extremely helpful at this point.

Glad you did solve the problem even if it was a hassle. I have gone the wrong direction many times. It took 20 years to find the fuse box problem. Didn't have luvtruck to help back then.

turns out the battery was not the problem just after posting that the truck quit on me again. It has a wiring problem obviously. I did find where it was leading to the plug on my ignition is a bit fried from the power wire so it easily falls off the posts in the back if i snug the plug all the way it has no power but when i pull it off about half way the truck runs fine. anyone have an extra plug haha
