starting trouble

i have a 1985 f150 4x4 with a 351 motor. it doesn't always start with the key. some times i have to cross the selinoid. i have replced the selinoid, the starter, the ignition modgual, and the ignition switch on the stearing column. can anyone tell me what else i can look for?

thanks,John
