Electical problems

Hey guys its been awhile.
Ok so here it is, I have replaced my battery, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, and I have tested my alternator(good), my baby still won't keep a charge. I just hooked the battery up to a charger and when it gets fully charged I'm going to start her up and see if it will hold the charge since I just replaced the voltage regulator, if that doesn't work then what can it be? I have a good ground so I know thats not the porblem. I also know that our broncos don't have the best electrical systems put its really startin to be a pian in my butt. if anyone has any ideas or has had this happen to them before let me know. Thanks for the help guys.

Is it not charging or do you possibly have a parasitic current draw? Have you tested charging voltage and amps at the battery while its running? Do you have a complete circuit through the ammeter? Is the wiring from the alternator to the regulator intact? How about the wiring at the starter solenoid?
What year is it? I can send you a wiring diagram if you need.
