I would just add a jumper from the rear taillights to the front parking lights at the headlight switch

IT WORKS!!!
Go in your headlight switch...........find out which plug is the parking lights and which is the tail lights. Make a short jumper wire(maybe 3-4 inches) and connect'em! Pretty EZ........hard to screw up........very reversible(IF for some unknown reason you wanted to)
You know how to pull the headlight switch??!

There's also this for a 68 switch.

I axed my wiring  guru, and this is his reply:

The parking lamp wire is typically a black/yellow wire located on the middle row next to the red/orange wire.    Remove it from the headlight connector switch plug and splice it to the brown wire (running lights) located between the thick black/orange wire and the blue/red wire.  Your parking lamps will be on when the headlight switch it pulled out fully or half-way.

Sometimes, the brown running wire is paired with a blue/red wire at the plug.

That's all it takes!

Here's the diagram I have from Bradster.  Diodes normally drop about 0.7V, not 1.5 though.
