charging system gremlins on Frankenstein

There is something wrong with the charging system on the 76. There seems to be a slow drain on the battery, I went out tonight to start the truck and it barely wants to crank, the headlights are dim, and after a couple tries it is completely dead. I have a new battery and alternator in it, what else could it be? The radio in it has a digital clock on it that is always on (even though the radio isn't, kinda like in stand-by mode), could that be it? Also, the fan switch is broken off so the PO wired in a toggle switch to turn it off and on...if it is in the "on" position could that be causing it even though the truck is off?

TIA for any help!!

-Jeff
