Angry Whats Left To Replace?

Hey all. I need anyones help. Im having some kind of crazy problem. Ive replaced everything on my electrical part besides my starter/alternator.. Cap/Rotor/Coil/Plug Wires/Electronic Points (x3 times), Battery, Starter Selinoid(?) and cables.. Now my problem. The truck turns but wont start. I am once again getting NO spark. I had the motor cranking and running just the other day, but I after I drove it around for a bit, and got home, it didnt want to start anymore! I know my ignition switch is going out also. Could that becausing some of it? I still dont know why I am not getting spark. I swear, if I have to replace ANOTHER set of these electronic points I am going to flip.. Too expensive!! lol. Any ideas?
