Trevor, sorry about the loss of your father. I'm glad for you that you are able to have the old truck. You are now in good company, as we all love the old GM trucks.
The first thing I learned about this hobby is patience. I'm not overly smart with the restoration process but I've learned a lot here on this site. Everyone here tries to help, so be bold with your questions, just ask. You will soon need to ask your questions in the appropriate forums, I'm sure you will get the hang of it soon.
Leo
