Just picked up an old 1980ish silverado last week. She has a brand new starting and engine block heater but every morning I cant get her to start. Starts fine with a jump, Just put a new second battery in and she still doesnt start. Any ideas?

I havnt had the batteries tested, one is brand new one is less then 6 months old...

I would check all battery connections and grounds. When you jump it, are you putting the ground clamp on the battery or on the motor somewhere? If you put it on the motor (which you should), you are bypassing the ground cable from the battery. I would check all the connections and make sure they are clean and tight.
