Doc you might want to get a battery warmer and or a block heater.
Since I picked up 67 Dart Convert #2 our minivan has to sit outside with our 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2
It was 0 to -12 here for the past 3 days. My Jeep with a 5.2 cranked so slow I did not think it would going to fire but it did. The clock lost its time that's how low the voltage got dropped down to.
My minivan also cranked slower than normal but it too started.
If your truck is outside and will not start, it could be the battery is near end of life?
I have a NOCO GB 70 jump start battery a bit pricy but well worth the price the first time you need to use it. You can find it on sale from time to time.
Another possibility...
This happened to my daughter.
She lived 2 minutes from her work and drove every day, but she did not drive more than that and after a few weeks her battery was dead.
She never drove it long enough to recharge what she lost starting the car. The battery was about 3 to 4 years old at this point.
