Electrical problem
I have a 1978 ford f150 300 six cyldr. Last night drove home and everything was fine. This AM everything is dead. Checked battery and it is charged. Getting no power in the cab at the fuse block. Where do I look?

Yeah what Mil1ion (Dennis) said. :)
But you can't "see" the trouble you need a meter to find electrical problems, so "looking" ain't gonna do it. Sorry. :/ It just ain't. :/
You know someone's messed up when they swap out a few electrical parts and it still don't work. A cheap analog meter could have told them exactly where the problem was to start with -for free-.
Pok, know anybody that's got a meter and knows how to use it? :)
Call 'em and have 'em show you how you use it while he finds your problem. :)
Time to call in a favor or be on the hook for one. ;)

The fuse block is the only power block
power at firewall !
Then there is a problem with the fuse block
Disconnect the battery and pull the fuse box off to have a look at the back of it.
sometimes they corrosde so back they short out.
