Batteries still charged? Try jumping it or putting a charger on them?

Try giving the starter a couple taps with a hammer.

Might just be the starter solenoid contacts all burned up. The starters themselves are pretty beefy, but, the OEM solenoid contacts are kind of smallish for carrying the sudden burst of current needed for kicking the Killer B into life. google up "Larry B's starter contacts". I've had a set in for probably 8 years, before the starter itself suffered a broken mount and had to be replaced. I installed new contacts on that one before the install, and have had no problems.
