truck will not turn over

I have a 93 toyota pickup 3.0 5 speed 6 cyl. This will be the third month in a row this truck has stopped turning over the first time it was the battery the second month the alternator this month we are stumped. The head lights won't come on my radio will not come on, no noise will come out of the engine, when we try to jump it off the radio comes on and the dash lights but as soon as I turn on the head lights the radio and dash lights go out, and one knock out of the engine but still will not turn over, we have tried to charge the battery over night with a portable batter charger and it will do the same thing as trying to jump it we disconnected my amp to my system and that seemed to help a little but truck will not turn over!

Huh?

Why don't you try that again, and try using some punctuation. There's a description of your problem in there somewhere, but I can't find it.

take the battery back out have it charged and tested to rule it out. Then clean and or replace the battery terminals/cables.
If the connections are bad you will have no juice from the battery getting to anywhere.
