fusible links are short bits of fuse and can be easily replaced

What you need to do is check to see if your getting current coming from the key switch to the starter. it's the thinnest wire that goes on the startex, that little round thing on the starter. if no current check the fuses you will see one as ( ST ) that is staring fuse. If fuse is ok then you check the starter relay and if that is ok then you might have a broken wire. to make sure the starter is working you could put the van in park and connect a jumper lead to the startex where the small wire runs to the starter and touch the next end to the B+ or 12 volts side of the battery and if the starter works then you have a broken wire.
so at this point none knows if your fuel pump failed or seals. Or if you have an ignition issue. Because this is a diesel there is no quick fix. You need to get this diagnosed correctly or else you will be spending more money on unneeded parts and you'l be pulling your hair out.
first thing clean battery connectors an post with baking soda an water solution an a piece of sand paper to get any rust off,keeping cables disconnected,next go under truck to where the starter is,an disconect the battery cable wire from starter an clean with sandpaper to get any debris off,check wires for cracks in the plastic covering,an check all wires leading from starter to battery an selenoid,another solution take hammer an hit starter a few times not to hard then try starting truck if that works it means you have a dead spot in your starter an need to replace it which is not hard.
Could be a bad cluster. If one is cable driven, and the other electric. You could have a bad speed sensor in the transmission which will make the speedo not work.
-disconnect neg batt cable from battery
-disconnect wiring from starter motor solenoid
-remove mounting bolts with socket wrench and proper size socket (metric)
-mount new starter and re-attatch mounting bolts
-re-attatch wiring to starter solenoid
-reconnect neg batt cable to battery
-it is helpful to label the wiring connected to the starter solenoid before you remove them which can be done with tape wrapped around each wire and marked with a pen. this will help ensure wires are connected to the right terminal when you install new starter. also when you have detatched the starter, compare it to your new one to see if wiring configuration is the same. if it is different, it maybe to your advantage to call the auto parts store/salvage yard where you purchased the new/reman. starter and verify with the parts person that the starter they sold you is the right one for your truck. more than once the part i bought was the wrong one because the parts person entered wrong information into their computer. you can eliminate this hassle by telling them as much info about your truck as possible.
