Answer
GM neutral safety swit
Ryan:
I don't think your truck has any antitheft system (black chip on the key), so we are looking at an ignition circuit problem.
The most common problem is for those with a standard shift, which means you have a clutch switch. Often, when working on a column, the 2 wire connector to the clutch switch gets knocked off and won't let the starter engage, but everything else looks and works fine. Check for that. It's near the pedal pivot, to the left of the column.
If you have an automatic, the neutral start switch is mounted to the top of the column near the floor. A knocked off connector there will produce the same result as above. Check that if you have an automatic. I am enclosing a picture of that switch, but I do not have one for a standard.
I hope this helps
Doug
