My truck is a 49 1/2 ton. Is the Accessory terminal on the ignition switch "hot" when the ignition is on or just the Ignition terminal. In other words, which one should I attach things like heater, wipers, radio, etc.

The accessory terminal will be hot in both the Ign. and Acc. positions. Run the power to the coil from the Ign. position, and power everything else from the Acc. terminal. If the switch has a spring-loaded "start" position, it will switch off accessories during cranking, to provide max power to the ignition system while the starter is running.
