You would be better off adding an aftermarket keypad entry to the truck. Otherwise why not just leave the truck unlocked, eventually someone is going to see you hit the button.

It would be FAR easier and cheaper to hide a key. No chance whatsoever of having any wiring issues. Tapping into the unlock wiring is not so complicated, but I'm not sure how to hard wire a switch that would simultaneously disable the alarm and then unlock the doors. If you don't disable the alarm first then the alarm will go off every time you hit the switch and you would then need the fob to reset it.

This makes it simple:

Not to mention, anything tied to the security system via "hidden convenience button", will not allow the doors to lock with the key fob within the cabin of the truck.
