Default Not starting after retubing driveshaft and rebuilding transfercase

As the title says, I had to retube the driveshaft and have the transfer case rebuilt because a ujoint broke while i was driving. Now that all that has been replaced it won't start.. We made sure everything was hooked up right, even tried to start in in neutral as well as park. The fuel pump is working as well. But it won't even turn over.

Is there some common mistake that we're missing here or could it just be a whole other problem?

How long did it sit for? Will it start with your foot on the gas?

Same thing happened to me. Try starting in "D" (drive) and try starting in all the gears. If it starts, then you just need to adjust your linkage. My linkage got a little bent and even after adjusting, i have to bump it into 2nd and back into drive for it to go into drive. My ujoint failed too and cracked my tcase. Didn't do anything to the driveshaft but truck vibrates at 70+mph. What's retubing and how much does that cost?
