I'd be checking battery, battery cables, and engine ground strap.
Not sure about all the electrics on your year. If it was my old
C-10 I'd be checking the carb to see if it's delivering fuel
to the engine or if the line to your fuel pump has gotten vapor locked.
(side note, on the 305 the fuel pump lines run close to the manifold
and in HOT weather can vaporize causing the pump to suck gas, a bit of
wrap-on heat tape works wonders)

They all checked out.

Would vapor lock cause the engine to crank hard? It almost feels like
the starter is fighting some hard compression.
