You have no legal basis to hold the property of the truck owner because you haven't been paid.

If you persist, you might eventually be charged with theft, or some other related crime.

I suggest you return his truck, forthwith, and pursue any other claims civilly.

Your only option appears to be a small claims action for any unpaid amounts you allege he owes you.
