Is the battery actually going dead after setting?
Is alt charging good?
Is battery cables good and clean?
If battery going dead overnight or after sitting a day or 2 run a amp draw test on it.
Post back amp draw test results.

This truck is old enough it should NOT light a test light when everything is right...
Disconnect the negative battery cable and put a test light between the cable and the post, as in break the connection except the test light, then start pulling fuses one by one until the light goes out, then figure out what is on the circuit the effected fuse has on it, and test accordingly. Let us know what you find.
