Hey all! Got my father in laws 63 Stepside, he was the original owner. I'm ready to get it going again but need some things to check on the electrical. Put a new battery in it but no power to anything! Engine turns over by hand so that's good! Looking at wiring diagrams, I see a hot wire going from the solenoid at the battery cable to the fuse panel, but looks like it is missing? Don't see any dangling wires anywhere!

Check the condition of the small positive wire from the +battery post to the voltage regulator that runs along the front of the truck.
