Dead Batteries
I can't get 1989 to jump start even with another dual battery truck hooked to it . Can both batteries be so bad that it can't be jumped? Is there a trick to do it? I can't pull batteries due to bad shoulder / hoping to get it started and drive it to have store replace them.

Thanks

it could be bad batteries, bad starter, bad cables, or a combination of all three.
