RAIN! And it's not the distributor :-) 1990
I swear I'll send ten whole dollars to whomever can figure this out lol . I'm trying to avoid throwing money at it and replacing everything until it's fixed and this forum is my last chance to avoid doing so :-) rain and heavy humidity can prevent my truck from starting ....
I changed the distributor twice just to be sure lol
Plugs and wires are changed.
It's getting fuel .
I reset the computer.
I am leaning toward ignition coil but I can't afford another guess. it's obviously a condensation problem somewhere right ?

Connectors like chris 1 said, body grounds, battery terminals. Any thing electrical can be affected by moisture. Start by pulling anything ignition related (connectors), clean with quick drying electronic clean, then use dielectric grease around the seal/base of female plug to keep moisture and contamination out. Clean up body grounds with emery cloth on the frame and eyelets, wire brush on bolts, after grounds are bolted down then coat liberally with dielectric grease for the same purpose. Same for battery terminals, starter solenoid terminals, even the one that the alternator runs to before the battery.
Also any damaged wiring could be fine when conditions are dry but because moisture/condensation conducts electricity, it could cause a grounding out that will prevent something from working.
Electrical problems are usually a very cheap fix ($4 QDEC, $5 large tube of dielectric grease) but tracking down the issue can be a PITA.
