Start with the fusible link at your battery. Those like to rot when these trucks get to that age.

i was having issues as to where my truck would randomly die, and nothing would work. it was because the link was pulling off of the connector on the battery. it litteraly supplies power to everything except the main cable to the starter.

It's the big 80 amp "fuse" in the box by the battery.

You gotta unbolt the box and unscrew the fusible link from the bottom.

I was messing around with truck and low and behold the starter body has battey voltage, think that is a good place to start and is so shorted out that it is backfeeding through the ignition wire and whono were else. got to go get a starter and will get back to you all later.
