1959 gmc rebuild from a new person in the group

I have inherited my dads 1959 gmc fleet side truck. As you can tell it is in pretty rough shape. Rust in the

Usual places. The front has been wrecked. But a semi new one is in the back.
What ever I do will consist
Of a total tear down and rebuild on every thing.
But where do I start?
My goal is to make it a show worthy, but not worried about winning first place.
Make it original but with upgrades (  rotor brakes, seat belts, possibly fuel injected for the economics and not racing)
Pass it down to my girls as an inheritance but if I want to sell it it will be worth something?
Do I stay with the fleet side or do look for a longbed stepside. Will it be worth it to go stepside?
Looking for a donor truck that is almost has all components and I am willing to travel to look.
I have rebuilt a 1976 4x4 Chevy truck from the ground up but am using it as a work truck.
So this is going In a different direction.
Am looking for any and all suggestions
