First thing I would do is to decipher all your major components to see what you have. It is some what rare to have a pre-54 big, working truck with the original engine still in it. Back them parts were swapped all of the time just to get the truck back into service and alot of parts interchange. Before ordering any parts, you'll need to know exactly what you got.
Just an opinion,

P.S. Welcome to the 'Bolt and welcome to the A.D. truck world, you'll never be the same.
