Question 1984 F-150 problems

Do you have a voltmeter? If so, put it on the battery terminals to read 12v, and then get someone to crank the engine while you watch the meter. See what the voltage is when you try to crank the truck. If you don't have a meter, then turn the headlights on, and watch them while someone tries to crank the truck. See if they go completely out, or they stay bright.
