at my local electronics store they have a viper alarm 5900 for 188.99 CAD without install
i bet i could get it for 200 installed if i bargin with him a little bit..

i was thinking about one of thouse things that sets off the alarm when the hood is poped, maby attatching that to the bed door?

also maby making the door its self lock. and have the locking tonneau..

is there anyway to set it up so when i unlock the doors the bed unlocks aswell? or wiring up some type of electic locks for when the hindges get all frozen

Yes you can do all of the things you asked as for how much you can get the alarm for thats up to your bargaining skills. For the tail gate/bed cover trigger I would would recommend a sealed magnetic switch. If the frozen hinges are a problem you could use a aux channel on the alarm to power small heating pads. Personally, when shyit starts freezing i am moving

The best protection I could think of is getting the locking tonneau cover that fits over the tailgate, an alarm on it, and reversing your tailgate handle to the other side of the tailgate.
