So today I had my truck running good, took it around the block and it did fine. Pulled in my driveway and went to shut it off and nothing.. kept running. I cycled the key several times and it wouldn’t do anything. I finally had to get out, pop the hood and close my choke all the way on the carb. Dying it down until it shut off. As I know that’s probably not good it was probably better than it shocking the sh*t out of me. Any help would be appreciated!

One time that happened to me. Turned out it was no ground on the tail lights. Power was going back thru ignition to keep truck running.
It's been long enough ago I can't recall if I turned them on or off to kill the truck. Probably had to turn them off.
Could be anything electrical. Radio maybe. Try turning othersother off if it does it again.
