Ok so my 1973 ford f100 doesn't do

replaced the battery, the starter
solenoid, the voltage regulator, and the
alternator and i am still having the
same problem. But the truck will crank
and run if i jump it off but as soon as i
turn it off and try to recrank it, i am still

Make sure the batt terminals are tight , You know it will run , It's a problem with the starting system so why did you replace those other parts ? Look for a good motor to chassis ground .Things should be tested before replacing , the parts cannon is a bad diagnostic tool .
