Its possible that you may have an eltric fuel pump working in the background that you were unaware of.
Then again it could be something else, get someone else to turn on the switch for you while you are under the hood and try to locate it. Just a thought that may save you a lot of headaches, or maybe discover something you were unaware of, god luck.

Make sure that all your battery connections are tight, and if you have a 6 volt system make sure you have the proper 6 volt battery cables.
You can check to see which one is not making proper contact by the temperature of the cable, one will be warm if not properly connected.
Failing all that maybe your solonoid is on its way out. You can buy a replacement one at Mmost Napa stores, make sure it has the push button on the bottom.
I don't know what year your truck is but I thought the solonoid would be placed under the battery. This will avoid any spark causing the gasses around the battery to ignite.
Be carefull, those batterys can be dangerous.
