The positive battery cable connects to the starter relay. Take one side from your jumper cables and connect it to the positive battery post & the other end to the starter relay. Will it start now?
If it still wont start connect the jumper to the negative battery post & the other end to any handy place on the engine block. Does it start now??
The cables on my 87 looked fine when it would'nt start, I found out the negative cable was shot by doing this quick & simple test

Can't tell anything by "looking" at a cable.
For that matter even if the dash lights up the battery can be bad. How old is it? It's very common for them to fail in such a way as to provide enough juice for low current draw items like the dash lights or maybe a radio though choke when tasked to perform the duties of providing enough current for the starter, remember it's something like 200 amperes or more.
