Just an FYI... If you truck has the factory ammeter, it will very likely cease to function if you change the alternator wiring too much. I'm not saying it CAN'T work, but the way most people do it causes it to no longer function. If your truck has the factory idiot light, this is not really an issue.

I would be cautious of a one wire setup with a large accessory load.
