Hi there, starter won't turn over, ran fine til now. All lights and dash lights on, brand new battery, checked fuses u dear hood just wondering what else to check before I take the starter off. Thanx

Does it click when you hit start? Does it buzz or hum? With new battery there's always the possibility of a poor connection at the battery terminal. Even  if the lights do come on, they don't draw nearly as much as the started, so the poor connection may let them work.

Others likely have some more thoughts.

Gear selector safety switch?  Try it with the gear selector in neutral.

There is likely a starter relay switch to check also. Check to see if there is power to the starter when the key is turned to the start position before removing the starter.

Doesn't make any noise, battery will start my generator on aux power, won't start in neutral either

I would suggest checking for power at the starter when key is engaged before removing it. You will need an electrical tester and should be able to test right at the starter. You need to be careful and safe while doing this. There is prabably a You Tube video out there to help with how/where to check the wires. I don't know the V-10 or Ford set up well enough to offer more. If there is no power getting the starter then you will have to back track from there-relays, fuses, etc.
