Do you want the battery to disconect or the ignition switch (prevent theft). They make relay's or solinids to disconect the battery from the system so you don't have to run a battery cable into the cab. If you want a battery disconect for safety reasons you could shop around for a relay or solinoid to put inline with a battery cable to open the circut then you run a swith to the cab to control the solinoid. To prevent theft you can have a hidden switch or button in line with the ignition switch to only alow power when you want to start the engine.
