Yep, definitely document things. If I can make progress on my truck with limited self knowledge of my truck and very limited funds(I'm 13) you definitely be able to get the hang of this. Most of what is on these trucks is simple if you think about it long enough and that is what makes it the most fun(no really complicated electronics or mechanicals to make diagnosing a problem difficult). If you do decide to go original or close to it(using a "new" old engine but rebuild it with performance parts) you will want to get a shop manual, and may want to anyway. Everyone on here is generous and in their own way have helped me get what I needed. So, that for a testimony, you should be fine here and someone is always ready to help.
