It looks like a great project with an interesting history that's meaningful to you personally. You can't beat that.

I couldn't agree more with what JonZ wrote. I'd get it running and enjoy it for a while. Then, as time permits, accumulate parts; especially a cab. You can get your new cab all ready - you could even paint it (after test fitting the doors) and swap it out later, thereby keeping your time without use of the truck to a minimum.

The huge advantage to taking your time getting part is that it will save you a lot of money. If you can just wait for a good near at a nearby location, you'll be a lot better off financially.

Welcome to the forum. I wish you all the best on your project.
