Default 1995 5.9L B3500 No Crank, No Start

I took ole Big Momma Flipper - my 5.9L automatic B3500 - out for a quick jaunt to grab a bite to eat yesterday. It cranked easily and fired right up like usual, and got me where I was going and back, about a 2 mile round trip to Panda Express (don't judge). Everything is fine and dandy as I park it and head inside to scarf down my MSG meal.

Today, Big Momma won't start. The ignition turns on at all settings and chimes when it's supposed to. When I turn the key fully to start it, there's a little click in the dashboard, but that's it.

All I've been able to do is take the battery in to AutoZone to have it tested on the way to work this morning - it tests good and fully charged. Is there anything I should check first, or any common starting issues that are common on these machines that I should check for before I go down the regular no-crank list?

Do the lights go out when you try and start it? (when it won't start....)

Relay or starter. Could also be a the battery cable going down to the starter.
