Need 2 good 12v keyed power locations under the hood and 1 in the cab. Wiring up a few things and I don't have any diagrams. Thanks
Keyed 12v power locations?

In cab you could go off the ignition switch. Look for the big wire coming off it red/green iirc.

Is that going to be the same or similar for an OBS?

instead of scabbing on to other dedicated circuits and potentially compromising them
if your accessory fails?? that way you won't be like "why did my truck die when my add on fog lights shorted out ?"
find one switched circuit in your fuse box or close to it and run a fused lead to a relay then split 3 ways to your accessories ( depending on loads )

It doesn't matter what engine you have in your truck.
A relay and fuse set up will save you problems down the road.
Even a 24v has keyed on power either under the hood or the dash fuse box, and if you did the swap you should know a good location

I'm not an electrical person! Hence why my motor has a p-pump! So yeah, I'm asking where keyed power is for my own reasons. What it might be for could be completely irrelevant! What does it matter what I'm asking for the locations for? Don't need smart ass remarks, just answer the question or mind your own!

Yellow/black wire on the radio feed which goes to pin 6 on the radio connector.
At least if it is damaged it wont harm the truck.

Under the hood...use the old fuel heater wire for key power.
Inside the cab....use one of these positions, I forgot which one is which. One is for instrument lights and the other is key power.
