Default 1992 ram 150 wont start??

This is my first post and i am having a serious issue that i cannot figure out. i was driving my truck on friday and i left the hyvee parking lot in town and it has a bit of a bump when you leave the lot. it was running fine before then, was backfiring a bit in the days leading up to this, but when i hit the bump the truck just died instantly. all the lights and radio ect, still work, but when i turn the key it doesnt make a noise. no clicks, cranks or anything. battery and altinator are fine, starter has power going to it, i checked for wires that may have come loose but could find none, i also checked all of the grounds that i could find and they all were fine. i dont think i checked all of them, i dont think it would be the starter since it was already running. but im completly lost here.could it be the ignition? or maybe a short? i dont have much cash to spend so i hope its something simple. any advise would be greatly appreciated. i gotta get this fixed as soon as i can its my only car at the moment, its a 1992 dodge ram d150 2wd single cab long bed 318 auto tranny and 82,000 miles. BTW it is a stripper model no ac or anything. here are some pics of it:

^ hes good it wouldnt seize for that, may have a bind in the flywheel and starter. take the starter off and see if the it will turn over. the backfiring is from timing being off or its sucking air.
