YES you can! The system is very simple, it is a motor that goes back and forward, it pulls (or pushes) a thick wire that is installed attached to your manual locks (either up/down or left/right position for the lock.
Installation is very simple, you take the side panel on both doors and atach the motor and the wire to the lock.
The TRICKY part is the electrical....
All this sets come with manual on how to set up the electrical to the battery. You see this little motor has to run on some power. SO there is some internal wires to cut....
You should get with a friend that is very talented on electrics/electronics and has a multimeter (multitester for volts and so on...) or you can take it to Circuit City, Radio Shack or a place like that but they are going to charge you a lot.
You can get some of this sets starting form about $50 and depending on the "extra things they do" they will run higher.
A set consists of a couple of keychains (your remotes), 2 or 4 door motors "door lock system" (you only need 2 for your truck), the electric box (the wiring tricky part, this box is about 3"x2") and an anthena.
You could get an alarm now that your are at it, wich uses the same box, it ads up a speaker to the set. You can also add a remote start, so your car will be warm for you in the winter time. It adds another electric box called "pass-lock" and for this you have to make sure your keychains (remotes) have this button available. You key chains can even be programed to open you garage door. All this options just increase your price.
I did this myself to my car, works great and I spent less than $100 dollars. But about a whole day of work (because of my inexperience on how to take the panels, etc.)
The system I use is a CrimeStopper. You should research on the systems available, the set price and the installation price. For you it may be worth paying somebody a couple hundred than spending a whole day in your garage trying to install it, not to mention if you are impatient you can't let wires cut in your car.
Also it will be wotrh to check on your truck warranty, maybe it says only the dealer is authorized to do this kind of work...
As far as for the windows, this same company has a Window roll up/down module. I don't know about these, I haven't seen them working...
Good luck and Have FUN!!

Yes, you can have someone install a keyless entry and an alarm system. I'm not sure how much it will cost you, but my boyfriend had a Viper Alarm and keyless system installed in his Pontiac Grand Am. Shop around, and make sure to get quotes on installation costs along with the cost of the system.

The keyless entry systems are designed to send a 12 volt pulse to the electric door lock to unlock the vehicle. Since you have manual locks, you are out of luck I'm afraid.

you can not have a keyless entry alarm on a vehicle with manual locks.

Yes, you can change manual locks to power locks. But it'll cost ya..... around $500.

Actually there are companies that already do make those. Some web based companies are KeylessRide.com and comandocaralarms.com. I have found prices any were from $40-$110.
