What next?

1988 F150 4.9 5sp 4x4

I have had my truck for about a month now. I just got it finished from round one. That included new: fuel tank, pump, radiator, tstat, water pump, battery cables, alternator, brakes, rotors, bearings, tires, belt & hoses.

Everything mechanical is running fine at the moment.

I don't have the money to do the paint job, but I want to keep going on it.

I'm thinking about an exhaust...Any thoughts? Flowmaster is all I'm familiar with.

Also considering steps vs handle in the cab. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
