Yeah, thats a dream alright. Nightmares are dreams......

Okay, I suggest what @SCORGE said. If its chrome, remove it. All of it except the bumpers.

I might suggest, prior to modding,
Make sure maintenance is caught up...
These trucks are very peculiar

Those lower body/rockers are going to be the toughest to get off. Either a heat gun (with discretion) or a hair dryer will be a big help. Hopefully there's no rust or pitting behind them. Lot's of adhesive residue to deal with also.
