First thing I'd look at is the relays. There should be a box under the hood somewhere that has all of the relays in it.
Swap out the horn relay or one that isn't necessary for the truck to run for the fuel pump relay and see how that does. Keep your fingers crossed that's all it is.
I had a 1993 Dakota that wouldn't start sometimes. I think it was vaporlocking though. I took it to a dealer and they couldn't tell me anything other than "Dodge trucks don't vaporlock". I ended up trading it in for a Nissan Frontier.

basically swap the horn relay with the fuel pump relay and see what happens. if the fuel pump works then go get yourself another relay.

A few of my friends had problems like this.First the truck would run fine,then not at all. It was the fuel pump. What happened was the pump would heat up and shutdown. Then come back to it latter and it ran fine again. It's a pain in the butt to swap out so make sure that's the trouble before you start turnin a wrench.
