Izzy is right on with the wood wedges in the door. works on most vehicles and no damage. you can usually open it as much a s half of an inch. Lock smiths use the same method, but with small hand pump air bags that do the prying. For me, it's a spare key on the truck and no, I doubt you would find it.
Drive wood wedges between top rear corner of door and the cab. Pay attention to what your doing and you won't damage anything. The doors have alot of flex in them and you can create a crack to run something in to pull your lock or pull/push the door handle. I've personally done it on a few ford trucks, chevy trucks, and my cousins chevy rent car. You can be in in minutes or less. Some have a bag that's flat when empty and stick it in the small crack they created with wedges. Apply some air pressure to it, bag swells, top of door opens right up. Not a big fan of doing it to my vehicles cause it just seems hard on the door. But in a pinch it works real good.
edit: Oh well, too late. Glad you got it open.
This is exactly how I got into a coworkers truck for him the other day when he locked his keys in.
