Turn the engine over by hand both directions to release the starter drive of it is stuck in the crank position.
As far as Cables corroding inside this is a possiblity as it happens all the time.
Other than the cables being clean and secure plus, the battery being fully charged,the starter should crank unless there is more in-depth problems

Seems like the starter cable was one of the problems...... even though it looked better then the battery cables did........hey what are the vacum lines coming out right behind the carb go to and where in the cd shop manual can you find them........ 4 WD was out the other day but didn't know why....... hubs were in lock position....... tried in 4 hi and 4 low but only back tires were getting the power........ took it home and checked under the hood around the vac lines and found one pinched right near the connection..... and it led to a small bowl looking thing that had 2 other vac lines running off o fit.... so I cut the smashed hose part off and put the hose back on the fitting..... it was splitting as it was going on so figure I need to replace that section of hose...... does this sound like it has anything to do with the 4wd working? I looked at the trasmission part and transfer case section..... but none of them show or mention vac lines......

With a set of Jumper cables, hook one end to the positive on the battery and the other end to the cable going to the starter (on the starter solenoid), make sure you trucks in park or neutral (manual transmission). what are the results?
