Weird widespread electrical problems are sometimes associated with a
bad ground. Start with the battery cables and make sure all your
grounds are good. Particularly look at the negative battery cable - it
some cases these have deteriorated internally, while looking OK on the
outside.

Another cause of weird widespread electrical problems is flood damage.
This truck hasn't been under water has it? Are you the original owner?
