Follow the positive cable from the battery positive post around to a plastic looking junction box on the inner fender...

Post us a pic of the inner passenger fender near the battery showing both of the battery leads...

It is possible your truck has been modified previously...it may have a battery cable direct to the starter solenoid and a smaller gauge wire on the positive battery clamp thru a fusible link, then to a smaller junction post on the fender...

If yours is the second style described, the loss of everything could be as simple as a bad connector on the positive battery lead....

Post a pic and we can see how its wired.

I will post a pic hopefully tomorrow. More info for you. When I bought this truck there was no junction block at all, and no lights worked. I bought a 67 Chevy front end that had the lighting wiring harness, so I removed and installed it in my GMC. I also removed the plastic junction box that came with the Chevy front end and installed it with this wiring harness in the GMC. I hooked up the ignition wire, and put a fusible link in it. This is when the headlights started working.
And later I got it running.
But all that has been erased, and I hope we soon figure out why, because my frustration is at an all time high.
