Give the starter a sharp tap with something heavy, then try to start it again.

May be getting a voltage drop across the starter relay. Could put volt meter across the large terminals and measure the voltage drop when trying to start the vehicle.

If you are absolutely sure your battery is fully charged, then it is most likely the Starter solenoid attached to the starter. You could always try arcing the two contacts on the starter solenoid with a screwdriver and see if it starts up. If you are gonna attempt that, make sure your truck is in Park for an Automatic transmission or Neutral with the ebrake on for a Manual. You can also check and make sure the contact points on your starter solenoid are clean and not gunked up with crap, could be a bad connection there.

For the record, i have a 1991 Explorer and when i bought it it had a battery too small for what the factory called for and if that battery was just a little drained, it would not start. It would just click like you are explaining.

ive had alot of starter problems. inside your right wheel well theres a 13mm bolt, straight inside you cant miss it, right below the exhaust pipe where it meets the manifold. theres a ground wire there that will keep it from starting, its happened to me and my step dad who also has a b2. take a look at it and make sure the ground cable it there and tight.

i say this because ive replaced a starter and it still didnt work, so give it a shot if its still giving you problems, if you have a question about where i can post a pic?
