What year is your truck?? What engine? I don't recall seeing a post on
that.
If you have a Gen II (which it sounds like,) just buy a 10" round K&N
filter and pop it into the stock aircan that sits directly on the TB
with the ducting that goes to the opening beside the radiator. Stock
cold-air intake, ya gotta like that. If you have a '92 or early '93 you
got larger diameter exhaust manifolds, and headers probably won't get
you much until you spend plenty of money elsewhere. Here's some more
info regarding the exhaust manifolds:

Of course, if you didn't get one of those years, headers would be a good
idea, but you may wish to invest into more intake optimizing first.
