Does your positive battery terminal have 2 wires coming off of it - a thick one going to the starter and a smaller one that gives battery voltage to power the rest of the truck? If you have corrosion at the point those two wires meet then I could see how you might lose battery voltage to the whole truck even though it was running and the alternator was working. I don't know what you did to fix the problem but you might want to take a close look at your battery cables and replace them if corroded.
Yes it has the two cables coming of the positive terminal. It appears the corrosion was between the two connectors, not at the battery itself. I would like to "Y" it off the positive terminal instead of having the two cables attached to the battery terminal. To prove a point today, I took the cables off the pos terminal, guess what, the motor quit.
