By ignition wire, they are looking for a keyed powered source so that when the truck is off there is no power going to the unit.

I would find a local source depending on where the compressor is mounted.
If you mounted the compressor in the rear half of the truck I would get the power source from the trailer charge line as a source. If you are in the front half of the truck, there are plenty of unused switched sources in the fuse panel.

the accessory (switched) wire is also very easy to locate behind the radio if you already have been working in that area.
