Welcome to the forum.
It will be asked where in Canada do you live as there is a members map you can be added to.
We have other members up north and you would see if anyone is close by.

Looks like you have your work cut out for you and you have put a good dent in the project.

Wow!  This is a huge and complete strip down project!

I have an idea of your journey, I am in a restoration project too, but on my side the cab and motor stayed in place, even if we replaced all bushings.

Congratulations!

Yes, welcome!  And we can add you to the map (Bullnose Forum/Member’s Map in the menu) if we had a postal code or city.

I've moved this thread out of New Members Start Here to the main section.  However, it could go in Projects and I'll be happy to move it there if you wish.

Yay! Another guy who stripped his truck to the bare frame, swapped cabs, and changed the engine type. Welcome!
