I'd clean the battery cable connections and retighten them. Also where the cables bolt to. such as the ground connection.

Fixed it

thanks but i just fixed it yesterday, come to find out my truck is a "Frankinstien" Truck, i had a new alternator on there but it was a 1970 alternator with external voltage regulator, BUT what i didnt know was that when my grampa left it to me, he had changed it to the alternator with the voltage regulator inside the alternator, so i replaced that 1970 alternator without the VR inside of it, for a 1978 alternator with the VR inside, and re wired some stuff and it started right up no problems
