Drive for an hour then truck starts to buck and quits running. Will not start. It cranks and cranks and no fire. Leave for a while and starts like nothing.

Is the check engine light on? Knowing these trucks, I would bet on either a bad fuel pump or a bad ignition coil. When it is acting up, try spraying some starting fluid in the intake before turning the engine. If it fires and runs for a few seconds, then the problem is fuel delivery related. If not, then it is spark strength (coil).

Do that and let us know what it does.
