I would say that there is something wrong with the ignition system. I expect that your truck like most collector vehicles only clocks up a small number of miles each year and under those circumstances the points should last indefinitely.
Have you got the coil wired in the right way round? Is your condenser the right one for the job and is it in good condition?
