Let's see... This truck has been sitting for a long while. It's an 86, and has been off the road for about 7 years. I went to try to start it, but found that there was no power going anywhere from the batter. No lights, no nothing. So we replaced the solenoid but found out that there was still no power.
The positive wire was questionable in status, and was easily taken apart. There are also two loose wires, one white and and one red. The red one is short and the white one is long. The red one will not reach the battery.
Look at point #3 in the diagram below. You should have a smaller wire or wires hooked there that feed the whole truck. There will be rubber things in the wire, and these are fusible links. You will have one main fusible link at #3, and then that will lead to splices to the alternator and other wiring with more fusible links. These fusible links can burn out if the battery was hooked up backwards, or some wiring was done with the battery still hooked up.
