You DO NOT want to put an inverter in the bed, it goes in the engine bay so the 12volt/Ground wires are shorter
The 120vAC wires are cheap, run one to the area you want it at the rear of the truck
You can install an 120vAC outlet in the bed
Heavily insulated extension cord is a good type of wire to use under the truck, as there will be debris strikes over the years
1,500watts is 12.5amps at 120vAC so extension cord wire rated for 15amp would be OK, 20amp rating even better
more important is that 1500 watts at 12.5 Vdc is 120 amps coming from the battery/alternator.
