Electrical/won't start

I put a used battery but a good one in it and tried to start it nothing happened at all. I started looking into the fuses. I found several missing one of my boys must have needed some I guess.

No pwr No start. Fuse box? Etc

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 1998  159000 miles
I have 98 Chev 1500 4x4. I was trying to crank, would spin over but not crank, kinda like fuel pump bad. But spun over few times then no pwr. Like no battery pwr. Gauges didn't react when key turn to on position. Knew had bad starter also. So replaced starter, found body ground cable from hood to firewall broke and corroded. Replaced. But still no pwr. Checked fuse etc. Under hood.no blown fuses. Tried to find schematics for fuse box under hood but no success. Any tips on where I should start tracing wires etc or what I should check next? Any help greatly appreciated

Charging System

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2012  250000 miles
First start of the day charging system well above 14. Mid day start outside air temp above 80°. On start up 14 on Guage after a few minute Guage starts dropping to below 11. Killed engine and restart back to 14 but hard to start. (Lagging). . . This has happened 4 days in a row. Im afraid my battery which is brand new or my starter is gonna go out. Any ideas why ?
