Wiring mess!!!!!

I have a 1971 f-250 4speed manual trans, with a 360. I just bought it from a guy and inherited his wiring mess. First the alternator wasn't charging the battery, so I took it to advance auto and they said it was good. After I charged the battery I had nothing. When I turn the key nothing, no headlights, turn signals, nothing works. There were about 10 wires behind the dash that had burnt up, fixed all them but still nothing. Any body got any ideas or maybe a master wire diagram for that year. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
