Why would the truck start hard after its been left without starting for 1+ day but start fine after the first hard start?
My '97 Ford F250 starts hard every time I leave it for more than a day without starting it. It just keeps turning over for 30 sec-1min with the occasional sputter before finally starting up.
After that, it starts up just fine until it's left for 1+ day again.
I've tried dry gas to get rid of any water in the line.

Have the fuel pressure checked. The line could have a leakage somewhere resulting in pressure drop.
The next time you want to start after sitting for a day or more, try cycling the ignition switch ON for two seconds anf OFF. Repeat the procedure 3 times and try starting to see if it helps.
Is the MIL (Check Engine Light) indicating?
