Grey Roams

I'm thinking there is a short...

All fusible links are good ( checked) Battery is fully charged.

Hi, I was just reading this and want to reach out and let y'all know what my 1982 720 pickup is doing... It was doing the exact same for most of the summer, really hard cracking, I rebuilt the carb( all nice and clean with me seals), it kept getting worse until now it won't start at all, doesn't even try there is no sound. I replaced the battery cables, cleaned the battery terminals, took out the starter, ( found the starter solenoid wasn't doing is job) got new starter and starter solenoid ( cheaper together) installed it, still nothing... I checked voltage all the way to the ignition. Once I turned the key, the voltage dropped from 12 to 1.3 where the pins and the ignition cylinder come together. I got a new ignition cylinder ( the truck drove for 3 times then did the same thing) I'm not sure where to start now but reading this thread, I'll change the oil... Work out from there... Any other hints? ( There is no sound or any lights at all) I'm open to suggestions. It it my daily driver, if I can get her to and running once again... Thank you all!!

Any help would be appreciated. I want to Tonka Toy this truck as well so... No worries there

What the okay of the key sticks into to turn the truck over) aux: 1.3 volts coming out. Start: 1.3 coming out. L(when everything thing is plugged in and turned on: 1.3 volts) I tested: all relays ignition coil the 3 fuse links from the battery The starter and starter solenoid (which are new) Pulled off wall: fuse block Checked all fuzes I'm at a bit of a loss on what to try next.. help y'all?? Thank you
