Hey Alex!
Welcome and congrats on the truck! I am 17. I started this great hobby when I was 15 with an old truck and no experience aswell. Trust me now, you will have the coolest ride in the high school parking lot. This site is an invaluable resource. Another invaluable resource is the shop manual for your truck. I was skeptical at first, and actually restored my whole truck without one, a fellow stovebolter lent me one and I have now bought one. I urge you to get a shop manual because it has EVERYTHING! So welcome, and please show us pictures! Have a good one.
Colin
