A youtube channel that might help you is https://www.youtube.com/user/ElderlyIron he owns a few trucks like yours and is restoring them.He does show how somethings go together.

Welcome, and congrats!

Something you might already know.... with the coolant recovery tank, be sure the radiator cap is for a sealed system.

I'm in! Mine was a mutt. Some napco stuff some later gm stuff. No napco stuff left on mine because it's hard to find. 57 is the best of the 55-59s in my biased opinion! Mine gets a hell of a lot of attention and I'm sure yours will too!
