Check the fusible links on the driver side fender well. The one that powers the starter relay may burned mostly thru. The relay could also be bad on the fender.

And it's a long shot since it ran fine when you shut it off, make sure you can bar the engine over to confirm it isn't locked up. Happens more often than you would think on gas rigs.

You took off new battery. Did you put the new one back on? Or did you manage to keep the old one and reinstalled *it?*
Don't know much about 1rst gen, does it have pdc (power distribution center,fuses,relays in it.) If so check the power and ground that hook up to the pdc,on 2nd gen. Some members have had those connections work lose.

Did you ever get your truck running?*
We over looked a key item is alternator working? *Voltage wotking?
Of course when you put a new battery in it should of turned the starter over.
