I have a 95 pickup, 4x4, manual, 2.4 lt.

The problem is starting the sucker.....I have to turn the key multiple times with the clutch pushed in to get it to crank. Once in cranks it's usually fine.

My theories are clutch switch or starter?

Thanks in advance

clutch switch or the starter contacts, no need for a new starter if that's the case as it's a cheap and easy fix. Ignition switch can also be a source too.

Sometimes the clutch switch isn't bad, I had a problem with mine as it's bracket is very flimsy. Bending it's bracket closer to the pedal helped in my case.

You can eliminate the clutch pedal switch as being a source if you have a clutch start cancel switch.
