Poor connections, corroded cables, poor ground to block. 

 

All your connections need to be shiny & bright & tight.  Also, the cables may look OK, but if they're old, they could be internally corroded.  Squeeze the cables, see if they sound/feel crunchy.  Check the block ground, to see if it's clean and tight too...at the block.  How old is the starter?  Are all the starter connections bright and tight, especially the little green wire.

No,the only ones that are shiny are the ones that are connected to the battery. Starter is old. I;ll try clening up cables ,but i'm thinking it may be the starter . I have had truck for a year and a half and I know it sat up for 3 years before that.
