Question Ford F150

I am working on a Ford F 150 4X4 351 . The truck starts good but will not turnoff when key is turned off. I have replaced ignition switch did not help. Checked wiring for breaks none found. The coil has power and sparks when ignition switch is off. I also noticed when turning off switch the interior lights brighten up, engine runs on. This is not dieseling.
Any one have some hints ?

Well, I'd guess that the wire to the coil is shorted somehow to B+. Its entirely possible that the ignition switch itself is at fault?

I must assume if it is an F-150 (and a 351) it isn't a 67-72? Does it have electronic ignition?

Did this problem just start after some other work?
