Speakers don't usually have a separate fuse. Power protection is usually either built into whatever is driving the speakers (amp, head unit). But usually with a stock system it's an all or nothing affair - all your speakers work or they don't. Judging from the age of the truck, I'd say that they're probably blown - have you taken panels off and looked at them?

The first thing to do would be to actually look at the speakers. Make sure they're still connected, they look whole, etc. Then use an ohm meter to measure resistance between the output at the head unit/amp and the connector for the speaker. If you have infinite resistance, your wire is cut somewhere.

That's what I'd do first.
