It could be plug wires, distributor cap, spark plugs themselves, or maybe even the rotor button.

Can't imagine its the distributor or coil since they would loose spark to all cylinders.

Hmm, thats a tuff one. I had spark problems on my '78 and it turned out to be the pick-up coil in the distributor, but mine wouldn't start at all.

Hopefully somebody knows whats up, have you tried posting this in the classics section for older trucks?
