68 let me down yesterday - towed home

[oldsub86]

I have had this truck almost 20 years and this is the first time I have had to tow it home. I think the starter is the culprit. I have never had it off the truck so it doesn't surprise me really. I drove it to a restaurant yesterday morning - had breakfast and then drove it to the office. Went out about a half hour later to run over to my accountant's and it wouldn't go. Click - Click but no go. Left it until 6PM. Still wouldn't go. Went back in the evening and tried to jump it - no go. Finally towed it home with the 4Runner about 9 or 10 last night. Haven't had time to look at it but probably tomorrow. Likely either the solenoid or the strarter. No big deal but surprised as it has never left me on the road before. If it was a standard tranny - I'd have rolled it a bit and got it going and driven it home. Darned automatics just don't work well in old vehicles.
