Odd Starting Issue

[ABE]

Having a small problem with starting truck. Only when stone cold. And not all the time.

When I try to start truck first thing in morning after waiting for heater plug relay to click, I turn the key and just get a clunk. Tried again and same thing don't know why but tried shoogiling the gear stick and putting it in and out of gear tried again and it fired up no bother like it always does.

Any ideas?

Tried the search option but most things seem to head toward failing batteries which are approx 6 month old.
