pulsing alt. light

Hey I need advise from some of you geniuses. Ggot a 77 f150, 351m, truck runs alright but now when I shut it off my alt light pulses and any electronics that are left on will pulse on and off too. I'm thinking that it's my ignition switch but if anyone has a better idea I'll check it out. It killed my battery and left me stranded two days ago.

I would suggest bad diode's in the alternator. Have the alternator tested.
