Yeah Bill, these types of problems are the worst to fix.
Eddie, the power to run everything will come off the starter solenoid. Either by a second wire attached with the positive bat cable or one of the solenoid terminals. That wire goes into the cab and to the ignition switch. Then power is distributed from there based on ignition switch position.
So find the supply wire leaving the solenoid and make sure it's powered. Then remove the ignition switch or expose it's terminals and find a powered wire, which would be the other end of the one you just identified. If you have no powered terminal at the switch that implies your wire is broken somewhere.
My 555A has had this problem before I got it. There's a jumper wire added at the solenoid and runs to the switch.
Confirm or eliminate this, then we'll look farther if needed.
