Default truck won't start...

The last few mornings, when I first tried to crank my truck, nothing would happen. The radio and lights would come on, but the engine wouldn't turn over at all. Then after trying the key a few times, the truck would crank and not give me any more problems until the next morning. This morning, however, I couldn't get it to start. All the accessories work and the voltmeter reads 12V as usual. It just makes a clicking sound from behind the dash when I turn the key. I was thinking maybe I have a bad ground or something, but I won't be able to check until after work tonight. Any other ideas? Bad starter, fuses, etc? Thanks for the help guys.

Battery is gone man. Mine just did that last month. I thought it was my starter but turned out to be the batt. Did the same exact thing. that little green light on the factory batt doesn't mean jack either. advance auto had a special on optima red tops. 100 bucks with core.

edit: another thing, all my electronic crap would work, lights, stereo, windows. so i was sure it was the starter but when the batt got tested it had a dead cell.
