Going into the dark
new to the forum.
After years of being a car guy I finaly decided it was time for a truck. I Was between jobs at the time and didn't have the most money in the world, I ended up buying a pretty decent 86 f150 with about 77 thousand miles on it with the original 302ci. i have a job now and have a little cash to spare, but i really have no knowledge on any aftermarket or stuff like that so i figured this would be a good place to get some advise. so I'm tying to make it look like it was a truck red necked out in the 80's if you know what i mean. So im trying to keep with chrome and all the other 80's style add ons.
all i've done so far is bolt on a billet grille, throw in a 2 inch leveling kit and swap on some 33 inch tires. I'm just looking for advice and maybe some suggestions to help me on my journey to bring this 80's beast back to life

To make it look like it was done in the 80s...
Put on a cab visor, preferably with lights.
Chrome bed rails
Chrome or aluminum wheel arches (if it doesn't already have them)
Chrome light bar on the front
Decent sounding dual exhaust with chrome tips
Any other chrome you can get on it, haha
We need to see some pictures!
