just clicks and wont start.

I have a 1989 chevy 2500 pickup, I put a new starter and cables in it, fired right up 5-6 times, drove home and parked it and today it started 3-4 times but it is so cold here in Michigan it died. went to start it again and grinded the starter a little and now it just clicks and wont start. Think the starter could be hung up

Top three possibilities are bad battery (get a jump start like oldturkey says), bad starter solenoid (tapping with hammer gently could get it to engage a few times) and corrosion in battery cable preventing solenoid from getting enough voltage to engage.
