The starter does one simple thing. It spins and makes gear to gear contact with the flywheel thus turning the engine fast enough for it to start. The only sure way to test a starter is to remove it and have it bench tested at an auto parts store.

Why is the starter in a 1982 Chevrolet pickup just clicking?

The starter solenoid may be bad. On a Chevrolet, it's integrated with the starter so you will have to remove the entire assembly (should be 2 9/16" bolts going up and unhook the 3 wires going to the starter, then take it to any auto store and get it tested and if necessary replaced.

What should you check next if you already replaced the battery and the starter and your vehicle still will not start?

Since you changed your battery and starter I'm assuming you are getting fuel and spark is your problem. You should check your starter relay, the wires from the relay to your starter, the wires from your battery to the relay, the wires from your locking cylinder to the relay, and your locking cylinder. You might also check your alternator. You can take it to a parts store to have it bench tested for free.
