Welcome to the forum, Richard.
You have jumped into a challenging undertaking. You might want to start by obtaining
"How To Restore Your Chevrolet Pickup". This is about a model of truck similar to yours and it will give you an idea of the scope of the project and expertise needed to carry out a restoration.
The main factors needed for a restoration:
money, time, tools, shop space and storage space, mechanical skills, experience, patience, perseverance, organizational skills, and money (again).
And, and it is good to have an understanding that a total restoration is not an investment (an investment is an intention to make money on a financial undertaking).
It's hard to suggest where to start, without knowing more about your truck's condition. Also, do you want to get right to the restoration or do you want to get the truck running and then drive it for a while?
You do not indicate in your Profile where you are located. It would be real nice for you to find someone nearby who might be able to assist and encourage you.
Tim
