The Ford Barn

I have a 1953 F100 that i have and drive at least weekly for the past 2 years with relatively no engine problems. I purchased the car with the engine rebuilt/restored and I did the mechanicals/interior. I had the truck running the other day and backed out of my garage to go for a ride. The engine stalled out and now will not restart.

I am average at best with engines and do not know where to start to determine the problem. The engine cranks but will not turn over. Seems to be getting gas to the carb, but not 100% certain. Really want to tackle this on my own, but do not know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Should I start with the distributor/coil and if so, how?

Thank you
