Unhappy 1988 f350 replaced battery now won't start

I mistakenly hooked up the positive terminal first and when I touched the neg terminal to the battery post sparks and smoke came from the soleniod that connects to the neg side of battery. Now truck won't start or turn over, the radio doesn't work but everything else does...lights, windshield wipers all work. I checked all the fuses and everything looks good. Any ideas?
