'88 Suburban dead

I have an 88 5.7L Suburban. Over the last couple of weeks when I go to start it in the mornings it would click when I turn the ignition. I would back it off try a couple times and it would start and run fine. Today however it clicked every time and would not start. Eventually it stopped clicking. It does nothing now. Like a totally dead battery, but battery is good. Could it be neutral safety switch or the ignition switch? I need help. I am no good at diagnosing electrical probs. Anyone? Please help :confused:

Sounds like the solenoid on the starter to me.

Remove and replace the starter. The old turn key and get a click sound is a big GM problem.
If yor stuck have someone turn the ign key like they are trying to start the truck and you go and wack the starter with a hammer. Most times that will work to get it started to get home

I've been at work for 2 days working an extra shift and havn't had the chance to do anything. I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks. Thats what I thought maybe it was just havn't been home to look at it and my mind started wondering about all kinds of other crap you know. I'll let you know if that works.
