Welcome to the 'bolt
You might want to pick up or order a copy of, "How to Restore you Chevrolet Pickup", by Tom Bownell.
Next, read through the "Tech Tips" here at the 'bolt & see what might apply to your truck.
Then, order up a bunch of free catalogs from the links sections (it's fun to leaf throught them).
A Chevrolet Truck Operator's Manual is also nice to have (and not too expensive).
A
Chevrolet Restoration Packet can be had for
free 
It's nice to have another '54 here (even though mine doesn't look like one at first glance) that has something to do with Mexico
I had to have other people do most of the work on my truck but have
serious plans of restoring the big 'bolt here at home with Alberto once he is back home on the ranch.
Congratulations on your 'new' truck.
Sabrina
