Hey Jefferys.
What are you hooking up, does it require a lot of amps? You can tie into the fues box by using a fuse tap that slips onto a fuse, then just plug the fuse back in. Make sure you use a fuse thats hot only when the key is on. With a test light, and the fuse you select removed, put the tap on the side that does not have power (with key on)
You can mount a relay under the hood that is activated with the key on, and just pull a wire to the cab where you need it. We use the relay method for our shop trucks radios. It saves a lot of jump starts on monday AM.
