Default 78 d150 w/318 no start just clicling

Hello,
I'm new here and really need some help.
we bought this 78 dodge d150 costume. When we bought it ran and cranked fine and drove fine the 40 minutes home.
well we parked it and the next day began replacing parts. Coil pack, distributor, rotor, rotor cap, plug wires, starter, and relay switch.
we reaces the starter and relay switch because after replacing the other the truck only did the clicking noise but would start. So we figured it was the starter and relay. Still just clicking so we check the battery and changed the terminals. Still just clicking's.
HELP PLEASE

Double check all connections and grounds.
Can you spin the motor by hand?

Does it start if you jump it with a booster pack or another vehicle? Or still just click?
