Dan I started to look at your pics that is what I have to do with mine. the difference is most of it is done. The frame,brakes,chrome,and,most of the body work is finished. I need to do do the engine or put the original back in and I have to patch 2 rear fenders which shouldn't be to hard I have 5 to practice on.I am going to use the 4 speed that I got with the truck. I want to put a 235 from a 54 with hydraulic lifters in as I have a new cam, lifters, valves, valve springs and cam for it. What manuals did you purchace that was most helpful. I may have to take someone up on checking out their truck because I am sure there are going to be 100's of items that I will have no idea where they go. Thanks Wayne
