I am sorry, but why? All it would take is a toggle switch of your choice per ign/acc wire, a relay per ign/acc wire. You would also need the push button and a relay for the starter. Then wire the toggles to pass a ground and all the relays like this diagram.

Then go buy some relays. Depending on the toggle switch you could wire the ignition/acc wires to them directly, mainly if they are capable of handling 30 amps. Also for wire colors read the second post from the top on the forum listing.

Try clicking on the word "Diagrams" at the top of the page. Then click on vehicle wiring information. Then choose your year and make. Then click on the model that applies to you. Since I don't know what type of toggles you have I will not tell you how to wire them for safety reason, if they are too small then you run the risk of setting your truck on fire while driving.

you really need to listen to these guys - you think you can just hook up some switches and be done? NO, you have to energize your ACC wires as well as your IGN and Starter wires. Since none of those wire can be in contact with each other you need relays to make that work.

as far as your push button starter is concerned you need a relay to operate it

30-to your starter motor

85-(-) switch from your push button

86-12v ign.

87-12v.
