Starting issue.....

Just went to start the old beast and the only thing turning on now is the AC fan. No gauges... Nothing. Cranked for 3 seconds and then everything died. Getting batteries checked but is there anything else I should check as well?

Check all fuses. Check main battery connection to junction point on starter relay. Check main battery cables and grounds. Make sure whoever is testing the batteries is doing so with them isolated from one another.
