It's not a good idea to take off near any large magnetic metal objects.
If the truck is 100% aluminum (which I highly doubt), then it should be fine.Same thing with the new aluminum f150?
This will give you compass error that will cause the phantom to fly erratically.Is it safe to take off from the bed of a truck or will that mess with the signals and compass?

With an iOS device, you can use the TeslaMeter on this free app to check for magnetic interference: Multi Measures 2 - The all-in-1 measuring toolkit on the App Store
If you must take off from an area giving you a compass error and can't change your take off point, then you can try raising you take off point using a tall plastic bin. A last resort could be a risky standing hand release take off.
