Will your truck start if you put the positive cable on the alternator and the negative on the battery?

Then either the battery is bad or the alternator is bad. Check all your grounds to. The connectors on the battery cables need to be free of any play

Sounds like alternator to me but, if you didn't get connections tight after replacement you'll have the same issue.
