Maybe the starter is stuck. I have tapped on the starter to get it to rotate. But it does sound like the starter.

Hit the starter with a hammer, then try again. But yeah, sounds like a starter, or a cable has corroded internally where you can't see it. Check all you connections from the batt terminals, all the way down.

When you say Clovis, do you mean NM?
