it has 350\350 its a 1986 Silverado swb half ton. two wheel drive. I drove it around my yard, and parked it, went to start it right back up, and no luck, it wont turn over or anything. no clicks.. nothing. I tried to jump it, still nothing. My lights work, No radio!? So I was thinking it was a fusible link? Does an 86
Chevy have these ? If so, where are they? or is my problem more serious?

have you tried jumping the starter to make sure it isnt the problem? just tap the two terminals on the starter with a screwdriver and make sure it engages.
