Sounds like a Body ground.. Ground motor to frame and body to frame if its not already grounded good. Did you jump the start to see if it spins? Also could be the starter solenoid or something sticking. Just guessing right now.

had the same prob on my 95 c1500 pickup truck. the groundwire is either fried or shorted out. we replaced it and it fired right up. just to clarify though, test it with a multimeter.
