Looks like a good solid truck. I would scrub the hell out of that engine bay. It's filthy! Also, may I suggest a 14x3 air cleaner? They look good and sound good in my opinion, but if the hiss would bother you, steer clear.

It's a two owner truck, and yeah it needs a good cleaning. The only bad thing I noticed and found out was that the first owner added some really nice flowmaster chrome tips and welded them on. Then proceeded to cut some holes in the piping to give it a deep sound. Much to my disappointment those holes weakened the pipes and the exhaust system after the cat fell off during an off road trip. So now I don't have any exhaust just headers to the cat.
As for the air cleaner, I'm gonna go with CAI from K&N.
Aluminum belly pan lit (hughes sells them) solves the problem of the new plenum gasket failing because the steel pan expanded and contracted at a different rate than the rest of the manifold(cast aluminum) causing the seal to break and blow out the gasket...
Yep APS also sells them and is who I went with. I'd either go with the APS or Hughes kit if I was going to do the pleneum gasket. Another option is something like the M1 intake that does away with the pleneum design. I told my self that if I ever did the pleneum gasket this is what I was going to do but when the time came I decided the M1 intake didn't fit my needs and was super expensive for something that wouldn't benefit me much if and may hinder me.
