Left a wire off when you replaced the starter?
If memory serves me correctly, the battery cable goes direct to the starter, on that same bolt there should be a good sized wire that feed the rest of the truck from the battery connection. Make sure that wire is connected, also they put a fusable link in a lot of those wires (wire coming from the starter) make sure you didn't blow that fusible link (looks like a big bulge in the wire).
check the fuseble links and fuses under the cover on the right hand side of your fire wall in the engine compartment,,as sitting in the drivers seat,if i remember right they ahve fusible links there,,and for future refrence,,always disconnect,,bat neg before working on truck
