my 76 F-150 did that...sometimes when i tried to start it everything would seem dead even with a charged battery...then sometimes driving down the road everything would shut down on me lights and all....turned out it was the big red wire coming off my alternator...it was old and brittle...looked good on the outside but inside the wires were busted up....u might look there........tell me if it works 4 ya....
