I think I got it fixed.

The wire coming from the post on the alternator was broken inside the sheathing about 3 or 4 inches down from the connection at the block on the firewall.

I cut another 8-gauge wire (I think it is) off an old truck with a fusable link in it and pieced it together about 8" down the wire.

Charging fine for now.

Thanks to all for the help.
