You are 'lost' and you list yourself as:
Occupation: automotive fabrication shop
Hobbies: Fishing, traditional hotrods ????
Use the search function. We don't have a Tech Article for this procedure yet, there are 'traditionalists' who want to put the truck back to as close as possible to 65 years ago, 'period hop-up guys' who heat it up a bit and change drivetrain, transmission, and 'people who want to put a v-ate in there' power windows IFS, AC, etc.
What's YOUR objective? Time to go back to the guy who said it was "a...bolt-in up-grade" and ask him to be specific. The above posts by myself and others have pointed you in the right direction.

"...my good horse Rocinante, mine eternal and inseparable companion in all my journeys and courses." ...Don Quixote, Cervantes
