Fried alternator; truck won't start. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After suffering a bad ground, I fried the positive lead to my alternator. Full melt down: smoke and melted wire coating. I replaced the alternator and positive feed. The truck won't start, I turn the key and get absolutely nothing. Battery has juice, starter has juice, line to the alternator is hot. My '70 step side definitely needs a new harness but in the interim any ideas to get her started?

All help is definitely appreciated. Thanks?
