Runing / Parking Lights won't shut off

First off Hello All and thanks for letting me join.
I have a 1985 p/u with a 22r motor that I just replaced the original alternator. 132,000 miles and 32 years later. Can't complain about that.
Now the run/parking lights will not turn off. I have searched all the past threads I could find in this forum but have not found any that deal with this year and model issue.
All fuse's check out ok. All Grounds I could find cleaned and checked. Not sure where to find running light relay if there is one.
A big thanks for the links to the service manuals in the sticky's .
Please point me in the right direction as I'm tired of disconnecting the battery to turn them off.
***The name is Gator ...Grumpy is just my disposition...Thanks....****
Sorry for hard to read text color I won't do that again...**G**

Sounds like a worn out switch to me and I've seen weird problems a plenty in the past but, my 85 has more mileage than your 85 and no issues with the lights.

Check the relay, too. Maybe it's stuck.
