Your best bet would be to either find another truck to look at in person or to order a shop manual from Motorhaven which should have good wiring diagrams in it.

Factory connections include:
1) Wire from the alternator
2) Wire from the harness to firewall (to fuse box)
3) Wire for hoodlight (if equipped)
4)

Depending upon the vehicle and the extent of the damage, it may be more than just reconnecting wires - you may have burned up a fusible link or the ammeter shunt or...? I'd sure recommend a wiring diagram. If you don't want to buy the whole set of manuals, Haynes has the wiring diagram - you might even be able to photocopy it from a library.
