90' F150 inline 300
my work truck has been having problems starting. it turns over fine, but doesn't seem to get fuel right away. It takes a good bit of cranking to actually get it going. They tell me they can't remember the last time the fuel filter was changed. Sound look a solution? any other ideas?

change the filter. I think it might be possible that the pump isn't putting out enough pressure, even if it's running. If the fuel filter doesn't work, you will have to test the output pressure/flow of the pump. There are instructions on how to do that here on the site somewhere, but the filter is a cheap and easy thing to do, so do that first and see what results you get.

Mine would do the same thing till I replaced the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel injector rail. Its between the one and two intake runner if I remember correctly. Do the fuel filter first, that can be the culprit.

Do you have two tanks on the truck and does the fuel from one fill up (Transfer to) the other. If you do you might have the bad fuel pump check valve problem. This also lets the pressure in the fuel lines bleed down very rapidly when the engine is shut off. Upon restart the engine will crank for a long time due to the lack of pressure in the fuel system. I would have to try and start a second time and it would start. There was a recall on this but it has expired now. The fix is to replace the pressure regulator and install inline check valves at the tank/tanks or replace the offending pump/s.
