1985 C-10 chevy pick up- wont start at all

Did you try to turn on your headlights on to see if your battery is still ok?

Your battery is not frozen. In cold weather, a weak battery--one that needs to be replaced--may not work. The cold makes an already weak battery even weaker.

Before you trouble shoot a car always charge your battery. It sounds like you have a loose Battery Cable to the Starter to me. This has happen to me that's how I know. To confirm this pull on the positive battery cable while someone else tries to start your car. Did it start? If it did not start then it's between your Battery and your Starter. Let's now check your Battery. Fully charge it again and make sure you have 12.6 Volts if your Battery does not take a charge it has a bad cell and needs changing. If your Battery turns out good then you have to check your starter or Solenoid and if one is bad change them both. Remove it and have an auto store check it to see which one is bad. I hope this helps you out. Let me know how you make out.

This is a little confusing. Your title suggests that it's a cold weather problem, while your description suggests that it's year round. So, I'll try to help where I can on this.

If it's a cold weather issue, sorry, but can't do much about that. The only thing you can do is keep your battery charged. I recommend removing it on nights you know are going to be cold. Your best bet would be to replace the standard battery terminal clamps with what I like to call, quick release clamps. Then you can connect/disconnect quickly and easilly. All you have to do, is just lift the battery out, bring it inside, and place the battery on a block of wood.

If it's an issue that is occouring year round, including the summer months. Try to start the engine. Does it sound like it wants to crank? Do you get any sound at all? Depending on which it is, it could either be a dead/bad battery, or you need to replace the starter. Also, as in all my suggestions, check the wireing for frayed or damaged wires. Sometimes the most complex problems can be solved with the simplest sollutions.

No one can guess from afar

Time for a new battery. Most places will test your battery for free. Expect to pay about $100.00 for a new battery for your truck.

you have water in the fuel line

i am not 100% sure but i have had same problem on an 91 gmc jimmy and it turned out the the ignition coil was bad, worked when cold but wouldnt when it was hot

I agree with the above comments. If you are in an extremely cold area, some sort of engine heater will greatly improve your chances of getting this car started every time it is needed.
