85 c10 power loss

I have a85 c10 with a 350 and she has been running great for me. Until yesterday when I tried to start her up. I put the key in the ignition and tried to start the truck. I get only one click out of the starter solenoid and the I lose all volts to my volt gauge on my dash and it won't come back! Any help

Re: 85 c10 power loss

could be as simple as a bad battery connection or bigger issues.

Do you have a way to see if your battery is holding volts? If so check that first, if volts are low then something drained it.

Consider cleaning the battery post and cables. Got to admit that has bit me a few times.
