This sounds like a bad/intermittent ground. We had very similar issues on
a friends car and eventually trace it to the engine to frame ground strap.
The strap was loose and when it rattled just right there was a large
voltage drop and stuff stopped working. But when we checked voltage,
everything seemed fine. How is the volt meter in your truck grounded, to
the frame or to the motor?
