I went out to start it this Morning and it would not start!
So i checked the fuses and none were blown, So i checked the battery and it was Fine, I'm Really getting mad at it so i quit for a while!
What do you guys think it might be?
Here latley it has been clicking when i start it and then it will fire but today wasn't my day!
Do you think the starter is bad?
I put a new Battery on it about a month ago!
I Put a Different Coil on it too a month ago!

Please Help Me!!!

I would lean towards the starter or maybe ignition switch. Try to jump the starter directly and see if it works that way, if it does then it would be the ignition (key)switch

My 84 D50 turns over but no spark, replaced coil and ballast,still nothing,I think I'm missing a ground or something, pick up coil is common problem with your model truck..
