do a continuity test from the large red wire on your alt to the battery,could be a fusible link or broken wire,sometimes a wire will break within the sheathing so it won't be visible by eye,check all conections for corrosion and either clean or repair
SOURCE: Battery dosn't charge, alternator/voltage adapter test's good.
Did you test the Alternator on or off the truck? It might be a problem with the control system to the Alternator. The regulator need a battery feed to work, It is usually ran through an alternator fuse.

Try replacing the hot cable from the battery to the starter, replace the clamp, cable and all. Sometimes they corrode down inside.

One should never disconnect either terminal of the battery when the motor is running- this is likely to cause serious damage to alternator/regulator and any other electronics on the vehicle.
The alternator cannot provide a stable charge current without connection to the battery, - the alterator voltage output can spike in excess of a few hundred volts!
Unlikely to be the fusible link, as I assume you have power to the rest of the vehicle -such as lights etc.
Check dash indicator 'BAT' or 'CHG' lamp lights when Ignition on prior to starting motor,
Battery terminal voltage should be 14.0 - 14.5V with engine running and headlights on.
Ensure battery terminals are clean and firmly attached - ensure chassis ground is properly connected and alternator is properly earthed.
