No longer starting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The truck was running fine after it was rewired with a painless wiring harness. Then it started running and then cutting out after a few minutes which I thought could be due to the fuel sending unit and the mechanical fuel pump. I replaced both of those but now its not even turning over. Had the starter tested but the test said it was fine. The fuel pump fuse keeps blowing but have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Recheck all connections at ign. switch, starter solenoid, and battery. Is your battery good? You may have a bad ground, so recheck all of your ground connections.

Where is your fuel pump fuse wiring hooked to? The only wiring for the sender should be for the fuel gauge and it originally never had a fuse as it's not powered.

The fuel pump wiring was hooked up to the fuel sending unit for the tank, which is still located in the cab. I'm going to check the maxi fuse but I'm kinda of at a stand still with where to go from here.
