It was the battery, I took them out and took them down the street. One battery completely gone and the other battery needed to be charged. I took care of both batteries put them back in the truck and it started....The only hardest thing was the lifting the batteries out, he has a 6 inch lift and needless to say it took me a while by myself. I want to thank each and everyone of you for your advice and assistance and I should have trusted my instincts from the giddy up. I learned something from your comments and I will remember this if it ever happens again..
As far as battery recommendations, I really like the Autozone Duralast yellow top batteries. I've had no problem cranking my truck up in cold weather with those.
Heck, I bet you could go to Autozone with the truck, purchase the batteries, and talk one of the guys into installing them for you while you're there

Thanks, I will definitely keep that in mind. I think I might be an expert before he comes back because he has also entrusted his 76 nova too me and that beast starts intermittently he does not even know what to do about its starting...Between the truck and the nova, I might know a little more than him which is scary...

pocket,
I got the duralast batteries with the yellow cover, although I about passed out when I found out how much they cost and I put grease on top of them so they would not corrode..I wish the guys at autozone had done it. I ended up taking them out of the truck by myself loading them up in the car and taking them down to autozone...
