Electrical is not my strong suite

So I was out autox my nova for the hell of it and got a lil sideways and went off into the cornfield and it was still running just fine but when I parked it and turned it off, I couldnt get it to crank again. I was able to jump it by just going undernieth it and crossing the starter pos and neg with a wrench to make it back home but I cant use the key to start it. The wires look fine, nothing looked riped out when I went offroading but a lot of loose dirt was kicked up haha. I will try and take some pics of it. But any ideas where to look?

It has a 69 C10 350 in it pretty much all stock and a TH350.

Thanks

Maybe an issue with the Neutral Safety Switch?
Try moving the shifter around while holding the key to start.
