Thanks to all who provided info. My thought was to locate the ground wire for the ignition switch and put a toggle switch inline.  Is that an option or possibility?

i think Stacy David is a nice guy but i normally don't like Gearz or any of his other shows because he never gets into detail, but in this segment he sort of does:

i'm interested in the battery cut off, but you have to open the hood each time.

I saw that one. Not a fan of having to open hood to do anything to have a kill switch. I prefer to have an inline switch that I can mount in cab in a secret place if at all possible.
