It looks like they're telling you to get your switch's power from the truck's fusebox. You should place the fuse and holder that they give you right at the source of power for the relay's pin #87; in the diagram that would be at the truck's battery.

Yeah; on a 1st gen undo the 2 plastic inserts at the bottom, and then slide the metal panel down below the steering column to expose the fusebox.

you should be fine with a 20amp. all your switch does it send power to the relay. the relay turns on your lights. I would run 10 gauge wire from the relay to the lights and and fuse the lights as well.

you should have a spare (spare circuit) if not tap the cigarette lighter or run the power for your switch from the battery.
