E99 No Crank Resolved
I performed battery and starter cable replacement and upgrades including two new batteries, a new alternator and fender mounted starter solenoid.

I replaced the solenoid in effort to chase down a no crank situation. With the problem unresolved, research led me to this:
And that was the problem, the ignition switch mounted under the steering column. $25 later and the truck cranks and fires reliably.
Edited to add: See update below.

Update: I go out the next morning to the truck to again have a no crank situation. The new Auto Zone solenoid wouldn't crank the starter when I touch the small solenoid lug to battery positive. I put the old, OEM Ford solenoid back in and it cranked and fired right up. I just tried it again this morning and again fired right up.
I replaced this OEM solenoid as a prophylactic measure, given the it's likely original to the truck, without testing it thoroughly. I'm leaning to all OEM parts from here on out.
Auto Zone solenoid is going back to the store, and I'll pick up the upper radiator hose that routes around the serpentine belt.

The 3-post Trombetta is a pretty nice upgrade for the fender-mounted starter relay.
