Check all your wires. I had this problem from a battery that slid into the alternator and sprayed acid all over under the hood. I had no problems for about six months, now I'm replacing all the wires because they are slowly corroding and grounding out.

Make sure that all the insulation is solid and not cracking or weak. These trucks have a pretty simple harness, you should be able to find one at a junkyard that is in good shape or they are relatively easy to build.
