Yes, I believe that would be a fusible link, rather than a large fuse (maxi-fuse) used on later models. The fusible links will tie into the positive battery cable somewhere. If not at the battery, then look for them where the positive cable connects to the starter. A bad fusible link will look like some of the insulation melted, may have bumps and bulges where the fusible link blew out. To replace a link, you cut it out and solder in a new link of the same rating.
Have you made any other repairs to the truck lately? Starter maybe? The ignition switch has more than one source feeding it. If you lose one fusible link, you'll lose ign OR acc items. I'd check all fusible links.
Try checking the fusible links in the wiring harness near the starter. My 91 had a similar problem where I lost my radio and my headlights. Turned out those fusible links were all corroded. replaced the bad ones (winter time- pain) and all was well again.
