Are you positive the battery is up? Are you using jumper cables? Make sure the terminals are tight on the battery.
 
yes i have done all that my uncle is a mechanic and has no idea as to what the problem can be we even put the battery in his truck it started it right up
 
Check your grounds. It's possible you might have a bad ignition switch. Turn the switch forward and have someone jump the starter and see if it starts that way.
