Hey 6chevy5, welcome to the Stovebolt and good luck with your "new used" truck.
On the engine swap I would suggest you do a search on the topic and I believe you will find lots of information about that swap in The Engine Driveline forum page.
Peg in the Stovebolt office has made it real easy to search any subject, all you do is click on search at the top of the page, type in your topic, select the pages you want to search in and you will find about anything you want to know about your truck right here on the Stovebolt.
I personally love the 235/261 inline six, I would bet that if your 235 is not broken or froze up from setting for so long, that you could get that starter fixed and with little effort have her cranked up in no time.
Best of luck and keep us posted on your progress.
Hobert
