My 1995 GMC K1500 didn't start this morning. It has no power at all. Basically my key does nothing when I try to turn it over, no dash lights turn on, no sounds, nothing. The battery and alternator are less than 3 years old, fuses look good. I'm assuming there is a bad connection somewhere, but I'm not sure what to look for or where I should be looking. Any ideas?

I'd have to make sure the battery has a full charge and the connections are all good. Do any of the electricals work? You may need to check feed to and from the ignition switch.

Does the battery have a full charge? Are all the connections clean? You could also check for voltage at the fusible links, right side of firewall.
