A quick newbie question

First let me say, I dont have access to my truck right now. With that being said, I am planning a full make over on my truck by the time i have to start to make it my daily driver. Its starts hard when shes cold, and im not talking the regular hard starting, im talking really hard to the point if it aint above 40 degrees it wont start at all any ideas? The second, I have to pull the door panel off to replace my door locks the truck didnt come with any, my question is what kind of clips hold tese doords on. i do know that there are a few screws. THANKS for any help yall can give me

Door panel clips can be bought at napa.

Hard starting, could be dragging starter, need a tuneup, or idle air valve.
Need more details on how it is hard starting. Describe it better

another thing to look at for the hard starting is your battery cables, if they're corroded bad or have dirty connections that will cause some trouble for you. also check the battery itself, charge it up good and have a knowledgeable auto-electrician do a proper load test. even if these aren't your problem if they're not 100% it will make further diagnostics unnecessarily difficult.
