I took a multi tester to fuse box no power

That sounds like a blown fusible link. Not familiar with your truck so cannot tell you where to look. I had that similar thing on my 72 c10 and found blown fusible link.

I agree, and I would say it occurred close to the battery since everything is dead.

What is a fusible link?

Charlie · Jul 20, 2018

Just remembered, I used a multimeter with a sharp pointed positive probe to push into wiring coating and checked wiring from battery moving away from battery about 6" to 12" at a time to find 0V and that area was where the link was. I wasn't familiar with them at the time so some may be easier to find than others. IIRC it was in line of a 10ga. wire
