79 wont start..
well apparently i am not aloud to park my own truck on my own front lawn ha so i need to move it by tomorrow... any who.. i tried starting it, have a booster on it and the starter solonoid clicks and thats it... i used a jumper wire right to the starter with the key on and nothing... is my starter cooked? or is it froze up or something, because it is minus 30 outside haha
it should make some sort of noise should it not? ugh

Either there is a bad connection some where like in the battery cables or between the solenoid and starter or it`s a bad starter.
One other thing to consider is that if the 79`s battery is totally dead or frozen it can drain the boost so not enough amperage does gets to the starter.
Try boosting it directly on to the truck`s battery cables after unhooking it`s battery.

i own my property.. i lost the peice of paper but it said i have 3 days to move it, because according to city bylaws you are not aloud to park a vehicle on any part of your front yard other than a legal driveway...
first thing i did was phone the city about getting a driveway where the truck is lol i was thinking of doing that before anyways, so i phoned, the dude said he would phone back and confirm because he wasnt sure i had the correct space.. which im sure there is... but he hasnt phoned back... probably wont get a call back untill spring time...
i have a feeling some dumb neighbour is complaining... ive had lots of other parking problems before... ive gotten a ticket on 2 of my trucks for being on the street and beside my garage already... and a notice about my 5th wheel camper on my driveway... had to move it to the back yard...

I dont get it, you got a ticket for parking on the street? Is that illegal now?
I would do some wiggling of wires on your starter. Maybe give it, and your solenoid a tapwith a hammer.

and the one for beside the garage i fought that, because i own like 3 or 4 feet (cant remember) of land beside the garage, but supposedly the truck is wider than that... and i had the truck TIGHT beside the garage...

Those are kinda sticky by laws, they make it hard for guys like you and it shouldnt be a problem.
