I'm in the same boat as you. I'd like to keep my truck like when my Grandfather had it, only not as rusty! And I think staying stock is cheaper than going to the Darkside.

Your father is a wise man. Don't listen to these guys offering cookies, stock is special.
Welcome to FTE!
Since you are keeping it 6V, the wiring is pretty simple. I drew up wiring diagrams for each section of the system. I added a fuse panel and no wiring diagrams show turn signal wiring. If you need any just let me know.
I would also recommend the Master Parts Catalog it's a fantastic resource.
Be sure to take lots of pictures and share. Things are look great so far.
Once you get the basics, drive it around and your truck will tell you what it needs.

Welcome! Good to have you aboard.
Always good to have another stocker among the crowd. There are some gas tank sealant solutions that may be worth considering, if yours isn't beyond hope. I'm with Ben - driving it is the best teacher for old iron.
Enjoy the journey.

Welcome to the site, and congratulations on having such a pristine starting point.
Like that you are keeping the project original, there are getting to be less and less of them.
Enjoy your project!
