Have you checked the starter?

If its good:
When is the last time you changed your oil/ what viscosity are you using? The cold oil could cause just enough friction to keep your starter from turning the truck over. Rolling it would produce a lot more force than your starter. After the vehicle has warmed up the friction would be less. Just a thought.
