The truck keeps dying even after new battery installed

I have a 1987 first edition non turbo. Replaced the battery and the electric starter. It won't stay charged.
After the electric starter was replaced it ran fine for a bit.
Then it sat since cv-19.
Got a jump drove around.. Won't stay running.

Help
😊😊

Next obvious thing to troubleshoot is the alternator.

Check what the voltage at the battery is with the engine running. It should be nominally 13.8V, but 13.5 - 14.1 is common.

Taking it to the shop.

Praying it's alternator and not fuel issues from sitting during cv-19 lock down
