Hey Kai welcome the club! Like everyone has already said that is a nice solid looking truck and should be lots of fun.
Most important thing dsraven said: have fun, work safe, wear safety equipment !
Protect your eyes, ears and fingers! make sure the truck is solidly blocked when you work on it, jackstands under it before you get under it.
Check out Dan in Pasadena's build thread ( start with the first 40 pages or so

I have done it one panel at a time like that in the past, late at night in a corner of the underground parking lot of the apartment I lived in when I was in college. Always cleaned my mess up, nobody didn't know nothin' lol.
Brakes, fluids, safe steering, tune-up the 327, clean everything, adjust, fix, learn. If your door is not rusty you can repair that dent easily and it will fit better than one you can buy.
