looks like you have a good project vehicle. thanks for posting it.
for sure check the battery condition first. advance or autozone can load test it for you. if it is ok, the battery and starter cables in these old trucks leaves a lot to be desired. it could very well be the wiring or a tired starter and not the battery. cables are cheap and available at any parts warehouse. i found some new 'hi torque' starters at DB electrical for $40. Been pretty pleased w/the one I got from them for the price.
