Bad battery. We had an Optima on our C10 with a SBC that did the same thing. One time it would crank and run like a champ, then you get somewhere and it sit for awhile (meaning the starter etc had cooled off) and it would just click. Keep trying here and there and eventually it would crank and run like hell. We could take it in to the auto parts store and let them test it and it would show the battery was bad every time. We went through 3 Optima yellow tops before we switched to something else. Never had another problem and eventually sold the truck.
