You can use a fuse box from an EFI truck, there the same. The EFI fuse box just has a few more fuses than a carbed fuse box. Just replace the melted wires, and do it properly by soldering and shrink wraping the wires, check all of the fuses, and if you get lucky when your done your truck will start on the first try.

do you think i fried anything besides the wires i see that are melted under the hood?

There is always that chance, but you might just get lucky and everything will be fine once you repair the damage.
