Nice! Working on a 2 wheel drive truck is not much different from a car, so it's really your preference. There are definitely parts available and they are not all that difficult to understand compared to something new, which will much more confusing. You will learn by trial and error, just don't be afraid to dig into it.
You can get a free catalog here to start researching.

Their parts are pretty decent, just search for '55 ford truck parts and you will find multiple companies.
I'm not sure if you've been to many car shows, but that Goodguys show near you in October will blow your mind, there will be a lot to take in.
