hard to start

I have a 1986 f150 5.o, it starts great the first time, but if i shut it off it won't start again for a couple of hours, and it acts like the battery is lacking power, but its a new 1000cranking amp, but i can put the battery charger on it at 80 amp and it will take a little but it will start

Connections, connections , connections.
It's possible the bushings are worn in the starter.
Check all connections first.
