You don't need an earth ground for the 12V system to work. The terminology can be confusing, but chassis ground (which is what is in play here) is a separate issue from earthing. It's somewhat unfortunate that both are commonly called "ground."
I doubt the connection to the truck is your problem; at least, it is not the main problem. You should not have wires becoming incandescent just because you don't have the truck connection in place.
