Time for a newer starter? Your hint that the dash lights dim, points to an inoperable solenoid. If you DIY, remove the engine fan and you will have room to work the starter out.
Also check out the red wire contacts on the battery post. They might be crudded and need cleaning. Verify that the red wires are not cracked and the battery has at least 10V.
If the battery is too low, it will also do the same thing. I believe 9V is required to excite the starter. The headlights will appear bright down to 4V.
