I did a two tone rattle can job on same vintage f150 years ago, complete with a wavy pin stripe. the paint turned out actually pretty well, if I recall it was 15 or 20 cans of duplicolor. the pinstripe was my downfall, but I sort of made it work later on.

I think that truck is an ideal candidate for a roll on rustoleum paint job with wet sanding and buffing. Ive seen some incredible roller results on the web and always wanted to try it. as the paint is already poor on the pickup, i say go for it.
