I am fairly new to photoshop I tried to do this myself but all the end results turned out horrible. Could someone change the background to one of the images by putting the truck in the back? I added four different photos of myself and 3 different images of the truck if because I didn't know which one would be easier to change while making it look somewhat realistic.

All the photos of the truck that you supplied were taken with the sun high (around mid-day) and somewhat to the right or left of the camera. They were also taken "straight", i.e., on a nice sunny day with no special effects added to the pictures. IMHO, the best of the truck shots to use would be the second one, i.e., the one taken from the left front quarter of the truck.

In contrast, three of the four pix of people all have hideous Instagram-like color effects added to them, and two of these were taken at night, so they will never be able to blend in well with any of the truck pix without excessive work.

The very first of the people pix (...you with your parents?) at least doesn't have intentional color effects added to it, and it was taken in the daytime, but it's problem is that the sun is behind the subjects and it's quality is very poor compared to any of the truck pix, so it will also be very difficult to get a good composite out of it.

Although someone may try to do something with what you have already sent, I suggest that you and a friend walk outside with your phone on a nice sunny day and have them take a photo of you with the sun coming at you from the same direction as it's hitting the truck in the 2nd truck photo.

Also, have them take the new photo of you from about 15 or 20 feet away so the distance to you is the about the same as on the camera-truck distance. If you do this, there is a much better chance someone will be interested in doing this work for you for free, and the quality of the final composite will be much higher and much more believable.

HTH,
