I found the Bosch 80006 GP's at Autozone for $9.99 each and replaced them all. Starts perfectly now.
The bad ones were #4 and #5. # 5 is a PITA to get to. Four is only a little better. The others weren't too bad. Took a couple of hours the first time. Next time I will remove the injector lines and get a ratcheting 12mm wrench. I think that will cut my time to less than an hour.

Three sets in a month.
I remove the injector lines (17 MM ratchet wrench), remove the glow plug wires (8 MM ratchet wrench), remove and replace the glow plug (12 MM ratchet wrench)
