Are the battery connections clean & tight ? I'd R&R them, just to be sure.
What about where the ground strap attaches to the body ? Paint does not
conduct, there needs to be bare metal under the strap.
Take a test lamp with you, start at directly across the battery posts. If
there's no juice there, your battery is dead (broken internally perhaps).
Next try between the engine block and the upper post on the starter
solenoid. If you find power there, try turning on the headlights and check
again.
