I had this problem with a 95 C1500, and it turned out to be a battery cable. As I recall, there are two cables on the positive terminal - one for the starter and one for everything else. The fitting at the end of the everything-else cable is supposed to conduct current to the starter cable that sits on top of it, but it gets corroded internally so that it won't handle starting current, even though everything looks good if you check with a voltmeter. The old-school auto-electric guy who fixed it for me replaced that cable end with a simple lug and installed a special adapter bolt to get both cables connected.

When you hit the starter button all I get is a clicking noise?

A clicking noise when you hit the starter button typically indicates that the starter motor is not engaging properly. This could be due to a weak or dead battery, poor battery connections, or a faulty starter relay. It's also possible that the starter motor itself is malfunctioning. To diagnose the issue, check the battery voltage, inspect the connections, and consider testing or replacing the starter if necessary.

Wont start makes clicking noise when you turn it over?

Does the engine turn over and then make the clicking noise while trying to start, or does it not do anything but make the clicking noise when you turn the key. If its not turning over at all then it might be a battery problem, Try cleaning the battery terminals, and/or charge the battery, Could also be the starter solenoid, but start with the battery first.
