I take back my timing remark. Don't ask me why I typed that in. The starter is not getting enough voltage to turn at the normal speed, even though the engine does turn freely with a socket at the crank bolt. It's the drastic drop in voltage on the truck's voltimeter that is puzzling me. Normal starting drop has always shown around 8 or so on the gauge, now it drops around 4 according to the gauge. As far as clutch and cancel switch starting, the truck has a clutch cancel switch that can be used without pushing in the clutch to start. I get the same result either way I try to start. Sludge should not be an issue either since I have put on a new pan gasket, cleaned the pan and have fresh 10w30 in there.
