Based on all the detail provided, I'm pretty sure the guy from the truck was up to no good. The one unusual thing is that he approached the passenger side. If he was going to ask for directions or try to rob or carjack you, the convention is approach from the driver's side. What may have been going on is the driver of the truck was also approaching on your driver's side but escaped your notice because you were watching the other guy.

As in most cases where situational awareness lets you successfully avoid an encounter, you'll never know for sure what they were up to. In this case I think that's a good thing.

Another good thing is that it gave you some personal insight into just how quickly things can go south any time, anywhere, and you're now applying that knowledge to your judgments of when and when not to carry. That may save your life someday.
