You only have about .47 cubic feet of airspace using 3/4" MDF. If you use 1/2" MDF, you have about .56 cubic feet of airspace. To keep the same tuning, you would need to make the 2" port 9.5" instead.

max i can go is

ht=14

w=20

t=8

b=10

If you make it 15.5" wide, 12" tall, and 8/10" deep, you will be right on spec.

ports or no ports

With the 2" port that is 8.3" long. Although, if I was going to use the 2" port, I would get a 2" aero port.

so i should build a box with these specs and will be decent

15.5" w

12" tall

8" top

10" bott

and with a 2" by 8.3 aero port anywere

The port will need to be on the side as the enclosure is not deep enough to support it being on the front. I don't know single cab trucks well, but I believe port to the side works well. You could place it on the top though.

~36hz would be the tuning frequency.
