If the above is true then if it just clicks I would change the starter. You mifght try tapping on the starter with a hammer while trying to start it and see if it will go.
Have you messed with the distributor? It could be out of whack(advanced or retarded)causing hard starting.

What he said. If its clicking and not turning over it is more than likely the starter. Have someone hold the key to the start position, and lightly tap the starter with a hammer. Please make sure the truck is in park or netrual with parking brake on. If it turns over then replace the solenoid or starter. After replacing the starter if it turns over but does not start then check to see if you have spark in the plugs. If you have spark, then move onto the fuel supply, is the filter clogged, is the pump pumping and so forth.
