As suggested, you need to plan your work by knowing what you intend for your truck to be...show or driver.

Until you are ready for an engine/transmission, they will just be in the way as you work on the rest of it. If you have room, strip it down to the chassis and start from the "bottom" and work your way up.

Whatever you decide to do, invest in a generous supply of freezer bags and magic markers and label everything you remove....AS YOU REMOVE IT!!!! It's very easy to get confused about what "this" is and where "that" goes, when it is in a box, or a can....or laying on the workbench or inside the cab or on the floor of the bed.
