When I try to start my 58 Chevy Apache truck in the morning it will just crank over and crank over and not start at all. but in the afternoon or late morning it fires right up. What is causing that?

Your Apache probably has a manual choke. You have to open the choke when it is cold,and keep it open until motor gets some heat in it. By afternoon,the sun has been on the truck,and it has enough heat from that to enable it to start. You wanna sell the Apache? GOOD LUCK, Rob in PA.

not knowing where you live... first thing i'd do is replace the battery.. because it takes more power to start a cold car, than a warm car. you can even take it to autozone, or your favorite local auto parts store, and they can test your battery for you, while it's in the truck.. and they can also test your alternator to make sure the battery is getting properly charged.
that's where i'd start, before you get into more expensive items..

Moisture/condensation in the distributor cap - there may be a crack in it or something.
I really don't know for certain . . . this is just a guess.
