You just described what happened to me a few years ago, only it was in the dead of winter, and was at 4:00AM.
I towed the truck home. The next day I got it in my shop, and went over it with a fine tooth comb. I cleaned the battery cables, checked the battery, the alternator, and anything else I could think of.
After just about giving up, I noticed a wire that ran from the Pos. battery terminal, to the fuse block. It powered everything from the lights, to the "computer" ignition module. The main battery cable only set juice to the starter.
It had rubbed on the edge of the alternator bracket, and wore through to bare copper, then it shorted out, and burnt the wire almost in two. There was the culprit!
Take a look at that, and let us know what you do find. It might just save someone elses neck, someday.
