I am currently looking into that I will also need new plastic peices and the plates to install behind them to prevent another attempt. I will also need to find a solution for my back glass as it is easily opened from the outside.

I’d go to Ford and get the ignition cylinder, door locks and door handles. Take the ignition and door locks to a locksmith and have them keyed that way. Did this not to long ago myself.
After all that, I’d install this….https://www.ravelco.com

my dad had a big ole service truck years ago, someone kept stealing the battery, so he wired it up to the house!
330 in the morning he hears someone scream in pain and runs out side finds the dude on his back out cold in the snow, so calls the cops, they arrested my dad!
Trucks hood was not up, Battery was still in place !
Said he caused the heart attack the guy had!
Point is do not electrify your truck , you will be held liable!

I feel your pain and am sorry you are having to deal with this head ache! I had a truck stolen yeas ago by some teenagers. The steering column was tore up pretty bad and the driver window busted. The little turds that stole it couldn't pay restitution either, since they were minors. But, the judge gave them to me for a weekend to work as I saw fit. After a trip to the junk yard and repairing the truck I work those punks like day help on our family ranch. That was better than any restitution they could have ever paid.

Ahh that's what I thought just wasn't sure. Today I ordered 3 new lock cylinders 2 new door handles an ignition switch and 2 new fobs. Got the fobs because the previous owner didn't have them when I got the truck. Looking for a good alarm system aswell. Figure I'll spend my weekend repairing my actuators and installing a few kill switches. Then I can throw it all back together when my parts arrive.

Finaly got the no crank situation worked out. Ignition switch was still good. The fuse under the dash was blown and the relay/solenoid was bad. Got that sorted and no longer have to jump it.
