No Electrics w/Cold Start

Just moved back to WV from MS and TX w/my newly acquired '00 F350 and the first 2 times I have started it up on a cold morning something weird has been happening with the electrics: the radio wont come on at all (no lights or anything) and the dash gauges and lights wont come on (no rpm, fuel indications, no Wait to Start or any other lights - except the battery and seat belt lights on the left hand side). The dash gauges and lights have come on within a few mins of starting, the radio takes a little longer but has come on at about 5 mins. On subsequent starts after short stops there haven't been any issues. So any thoughts on what is causing this? My first thought was maybe a cold fuse or relay but really have no idea. Thanks for any help
