Help, no power! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1980 gmc 3/4 ton
been off the road since may but always started when needed to. Last Sat I drove it around the block.
Today she is dead! no power inside the cab. I have voltage at the battery and at the ground on the Alt. I have cleaned all the connections, and checked all the fuses.
I have been installing power windows and locks but that shouldn't bugger anything up, right? No radio, no seat belt lights. I have a standard tranny with an automatic shifter, I know the neutral safety switch could be the problem with the start but not the radio?

Any advice would be great.
Funny thing is I just put insurance back on it.
