Welcome aboard! Looks like you've got a decent truck to start with, The best place to start is a thorough inspection of what you have, like making sure the engine turns over and isn't stuck. I see that the floor pan has been cut out, not really a mojor problem, as replacements are available. On the shock mount/steering box, I take it you want to re-install the stock box. As long as the mounts/frame wasn't butchered too much, you should be able to put the shock mount back to it's original position, which will allow the stock box to fit correctly.
I'm certain others will chime in with more suggestions.
