I purchased this vehicle and the key doesn't have a computer chip on it and I cannot get it to crank.

you will have to go to the dealer and get a replacement key,any Ford dealership should be able to order a new key for you. It will be expensive though, sorry!

Anti-theft devices are installed in the vehicle for the same reason that it takes passwords to open your email. I would offer same logical answer to Signing up on yahoo and not knowing your password.
Maybe you can ask the previous owner how he used it with the keys he gave you. You can also contact your local Ford dealership for the replacement of your keys.
Just a word of advice, try to check the car before you purchase it.
In my opinion, If you just want to hotwire a 2000 Ford F150 and steal it, then enjoy finding it out the hard way...

A lot of time they dont even have a chip in the key. People just say they do. It could be the starter. On my car I was told that it was my ignition, then my alternator, then my key that it had a faulty chip and it ended up being the starer

Sorry, but that particular vehicle REQUIRES the PATS key that you refer to. There's no other way around it. You will need to have it towed to a Ford dealer to two new keys cut and PROGRAMMED in order to be able to start the vehicle.

You will have to get a new key made with a new chip installed or rewire the ignition system, which can be expensive.

first thing is find out if the truck has a after market alarm in it or was . if so if you bought it from some used car dealer you should see if they would fix it . if not from a dealer check with a shop you trust .
there are too many things to write for you to check
but here's one check the simple things say bad battery
