Cody, you dont need to worry about it! You know that thing will never run! They wont get far I'm sure!
Anyways, air horns! Big ones! They don't stick around for too many obnoxious noises like that. Then get a small battery back up for the theives that think disconnecting the battery will kill the niose.
Other than that, direct kill switch, like mentioned above, a fuel pump relay switch (sounds like I may need to look into that) ,or Lo-Jack.
Some crooked wrecker could always just hook up to it and go. That's where Lo-Jack may come in handy.

Guys
I really like the Ideas that you have come up with but here is a bit of info if your truck gets taken. The above mentioned insurance company is crap. They will nickle and dime you to death in the event of a claim. Make sure that you have full coverage but you need a rider for all of your additional customization. Usually you have to state an amount so you can get back what you have in it. You will usually have to list most of your big expensive stuff. It will cover anything from your radio and amps to motor and tranny swaps. I added $10,000 in additional coverage for my 1991 and it was about $40 bucks a year more than I was paying.
