old norse, welcome to the Stovebolt. The AD is a popular choice among many hobbyist. Lots of parts for them and lots of part interchange.
The first suggestion is to buy and Assembly Manual which most vendors carry for about $25 bucks and of course a Repair Manual which is also from the same vendors.

You can also go here to Keith Hardy's online manuals.
http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/

Don't feel alone. Many of us start with basket cases and many time with baskets full of parts primarily like you. We are here to help.....and the best way to get answers is to post questions in the garage forum most suited for you situation. Engine questions in the Engine Forum and Driveline questions in the Driveline and electrical in the Electrical Forums and others. I'm sure you get the picture..... and speaking of pictures post up a link to some pictures when you can. You may also want to start a thread in the DIY Forum which is a sub forum of the welcome centre. There you can make post as you go along as a lot of us like to follow along on the journey with you. Take some time, get to know the bolt and let us know how we can help.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Old Norse,

Welcome to Stovebolt.com

Ask questions.

Also, check the Tech Tips (look at the menu at the top of this page).

One area of the Tech Tips is Getting Started.

The amount of information available here and at the Old Online Chevy Manuals website (the link to it is also given in a post above) is plentiful and overwhelming.

Achipmunk/tclederman thanks for advice on manuals. This is my first pickup build and looking forward to challenge. I'm an ol school hot rod guy so.....black primer with plenty of HP is my goal. I am not tech savvy but will try my hand at submitting build pics. Thanks Old Norse
