The linkage is still hooked up on the door handles inside and outside but it won't open. The exterior door lock has become disconnected, you can see when looking down into the door. Is this causing the door to not open, because I can see that all of the other linkage is working properly. It also makes no difference to operate the locks from inside the truck, it still won't open.

Or could the latch just be sticky and out of adjustment, I would pull the door panel and try to adjust it, but I can't get the door open at all, is there a way to hook the opener latch from the window opening and get the door open? Thanks.

You'll have to find a way to get it open through the window opening. there are no other options without destroying the door panel. It's never easy.
