'80 4.9 won't start
Truck's been sitting for 2 weeks. Before the 2 weeks, it would start easily. When I try to start it, everything dies. Dash lights turn off. I can hear the starter clicking, but the motor doesnt even try to turn. Tried jumping it, no luck.
Any ideas on what to look for first?

If that doesn't do it, clean the middle of the cables.
I'm kidding, btw.
It could be a bad battery. I've had a vehicle with a weak battery where even jumping it wouldn't give it enough juice to start.
Try cleaning the cables first, though. That's usually the problem.
