Did you check the fusable links at the battery?

You need to check the starter. Put the truck in neutral and with switch OFF crawl underneath the truck and momentarily touch the small wire on the starter with a wire from the positive side of battery. If it turns over, starter is OK. Something blew that fuse and its not easy to do.

Your starter relay maybe a different lay out but you should have one ternminal hot at all times. The termnal opposite hot terminal goes to starter solenoid.

Check to see that the starter solenoid wire inside the positive battery cable loom hasn't rubbed through onto the crossframe or the metal straps that bolt to the oil pan bolts under the truck. Check the entire length of that wire. Check for shorts to ground within the starter as well.
