Why is my truck taking atleast two tries to start?

I have personally replaced the alternator, spark plugs, dist. cap/wires, fuel filter. and according to autozone, the battery is good. I am curious as to why it still takes atleast 2 times to start. I've been told it could be the choke, but I'm not quite sure how to adjust that..
The truck cranks but won't turn over. I usually let it go for about 6 seconds but stop, not wanting to flood the engine.
So my question is, what are some possibilities as to why this is happening? It's getting really frustrating and sometimes embarrassing...
