Probably the easiest is to cut through the kick panel on the inside of the truck, that's an inaccessable area, but a common problem.

Once you cut out the kickpanel you should be able to figure out what you need to do.

Good luck Rg

Before you cut anything try using a piece of wire to fish it back up to where
you can get to it. It could not have fallen very far , not that much space
to drop.
