Warm engine, no start.
I have an 85 F250 with a 460 engine in it, once I run it and it gets to operating temp it won't restart after shutting it off. It just cranks very slow.. Suggestions??

If he starter is cranking slow, sounds like "heat sink" Headers, as Mentioned, increase the heat around the starter and it "swells" and can not turn easily, between that the poor (rotted) ground wire, the battery cant push the electrons as fast as on a cold starter.......

If not running headers, check closely that all battery [positive and ground] and starter cables are in good condition and that the connections are clean and secure.
Perhaps the battery is failing?
