Since you replaced the distributor, are you sure it's properly timed? Hook up timing light and try to crank. It should show you where your timing mark is. It will also verify that you are getting spark.
You need to start a systematic check. Is it electrical, mechanical, fuel related? Need to do more checking and maybe we can get that puppy going.
Good Luck

Check your starter cable down at the starter. Even if you jump the battery you are still feeding the same starter cable under your truck.
It sounds like your battery may be shorting. It will still break connection. You could try to bypass your battery and feed the jumper wires direct to the cables with the cables disconnected from the battery posts of the bad battery. Block the cables with wood or some insulator and then try to start the truck. If it pulls down again you will know it is not the original battery. Then it must be the starter cable or the starter.
Check the ground wires. There use to be a frame ground under the area of the passengers door on the frame.

You have shorted and fried fuses, you are going to have to go to the main fuse box and the fuse box under the dash and start replacing fuses,

you need to make sure that all connections from each unit are attached properly and free of corrosion.
also it is not unheard of to get a bad part fresh out of the box. so you may want to check that as an option too.

At least your sister was not injured by an exploding battery - that is a probable outcome of reverse charging.
Does the engine turn over at normal speed? If not, try recharging your battery.
In any case, it would be a good idea to check your charging system to make sure the voltage regulator is still good (this is usually part of the alternator).
If the engine turns over normally, but won't fire, try doing a computer reset - the computer memory may have been corrupted by the reverse voltage. This is done by disconnecting the ground cable of the battery for a minute, then reconnecting it, or if it is available, disconnecting the ECM power lead rather than the battery ground. (Caution: if your car radio has an anti-theft security system built in, check the manual for the proper procedure first. Failure to follow this procedure will disable the radio.) In the worst case, the engine control module or some other part of the control system was damaged.
