After Winter Storage No Start ?

I went to retrieve my GMC from storage today and just get a click when I turn the key ? Pulled the Delco battery and took it to NAPA. It checked out fine so now what ? Hate to have to crawl under it right now because I hurt my knee and hobbling around under a truck will be painful, any suggestions would be great, thanks guy’s....

If you have clean terminals and a good battery, there's a possibility that the starter solenoid is arcing. When that happens, carbon buildup can keep the starter from turning.

Push trans selector into park...may not be fully in park and then you will get a no start. My 68 gmc burb use to be like that.

Get a voltmeter. I had a parts store tell me my battery needed a charge--it was old and read 9V w/ no load. They have no idea what they're talking about.
Charge the battery slowly for a few days.

It’s not the battery, NAPA put a big load on it while testing it. I only use side screw in terminal Delo battery’s, can’t depend on post type connections and hate the corrosion they produce. Guess I’ll have to go down below and pull that heavy sob. Maybe time to consider one of those lightweight fellas ?
