You can also mount the battery in a locked box under the cab on the frame and then install a Ford style starter solenoid in there, too. That would keep the postive battery cable to the starter dead until you turn on the ignition switch. I assume this would prevent or at least make it very hard to hot wire from under the hood since you would have no easy access to 12 volts. This is how my Camaro is set up, battery in trunk with Ford solenoid in there.
