Go to the police...but you may be in for a long ride. I had this happen once to a very good friend of mine who loaned a bunch of high price photo gear to a 'friend'. It was sold and used to pay bills (or in your case help buy a nice new truck).
It went to court, but the guy was 'broke' and my friend never recouped his entire loss.
I was given a very good piece of advice when I was younger...never loan anything you can't afford to lose. Even to a truly good friend because you never know when they will hit a bad patch in their life and can't afford to replace something they damage.
Living my life this way has saved a couple of friendships over the years.
