have you checked the water level in the batteries if they have the removable caps? check all the connectors, clean with warm water and baking soda then rinse with water. remember to use distilled water if you have to add any to the batteries.
it sounds like you might have one or two batteries that may have died. how old are they?
the only way i can think that the starter or a fused link could be bad is if you jumped the truck off recently or had been doing any electrical work and could have arched something. -
also, get a volt meter and attach it to the batteries. turn the headlights on bright. an average battery will have about 12.6 volts when sitting and properly charged. you should be able to have full headlights, and the voltage hold steady around 12 volts for several minutes, then it would start to drop slowly. i bet this is a battery issue.
