If it's a fairly new truck and you still have all the paperwork that was included the owner's manual, you should have a card with the key code that the dealer can use to cut a new key. If not, you can drill out the pin that retains the lock cylinder and put in an aftermarket one for ~$12. This site shows how.

It's funny how the "place I won't forget" is always the last place you think to look.
