Does the battery have a charge on it?
Maybe the Alt. went out and was running on the battery till it died.

Adding to that, many "B" battery cables are now going bad at 10 years, if bad, they won't hold a charge

Sounds like what tech says, did you have any dash warning lights on while driving down interstate?
