I don't know if you can, but it can be done. Are you just looking for something that will prevent the truck from being started, from being driven, or something that will allow someone to drive some distance away before stalling and failing to restart? The simple method would be to just remove the fuse for the fuel pump, but if it something you plan to do frequently, installing a switch in series with the fuel pump would be pretty easy. However, be sure to use a high reliability switch, be sure it's located in a place that will not be inadvertently toggled, and be sure to wire it very securely.
