Having the bare minimum for compression is not what I would call good,combine that with a slow cranking starter and possibly undersized batteries and you likely have the cause of your hard starting.

Faster cranking speed from a new or rebuilt gear reduction starter and good batteries like theses from walmart: EverStart® Battery MAXX-78N (if made by johnson controls) or rebuild the engine.

Worn rings/cylinder bore and or valves would cause low compression hows the blowby?

Could be highly likely as 6.5's in the duallys are usually the first to go as theyve generally been worked harder

Or you could sell me the truck and give me a killer deal

Fix the starter first and see how that goes.
Then if little improvement as a last ditch effort you could add a can or 2 of engine restorer to the oil to see if any compression improvement can be had-it is little more than a bandaid though that used car dealers use to get worn out crap past buyers for a few weeks.
