park light problems

I have a 1964 F100. When I pull the headlight switch to the parklight position the park lights come on (front and rear). When I pull the switch all the way out the park lights on the front go out but the rear park lights stay on. Any ideas as to what the problem is would be greatly appreciated.

The front park lights do not stay on with the headlights on these trucks. It wasn't until 1968 when "side marker" lights came about that the park lights stay on with the headlights.

Yep, them lights is doing exactly as designed. Thats where the term park lights come in. If they were on when your hedlights are on, they'd be running lights. Besides, no one can really see them when the headlights are on anyway.
