There might be two solenoids on that truck, one might be bad. The other possiblities is loose/corroded cables/connections or bad battery.

The terminals and battery are new I went and sanded and scrapped the connections took the multimeter out there and its getting power at the starter but diddnt have another person to turn the key

short those 2 terminals indicated with the yellow arrows. i am assuming that is the same solenoid that's in you truck. if it does not look like that than don't listen to me.

Thats the one!

My 94 did the same thing last year and it ended up being the starter was bad. Try jumping those two posts on the solenoid on the fender and if you still just get a click, I'd pull the starter off and get it checked. Autozone,O'Reilly, etc. usually do this for free. At that price you can't beat it! Hope it helps, good luck.
