Check that battery cables. I had a simmilar problem a year ago with my '95 Tahoe. The cables are doubled up and the cable closest to the battery powers everything but the starter and I had alot of corrosion between teh cables so the starter didn't get enough power to crank it over. Cleaned the cables and put in new bolts and it has been good ever since.

Not sure if GM still double up the cables on the "+" side but its worth a look.

 

Good luck getting it going.
