To get the cam out while the engine is in the truck, you'll have to remove the radiator and on most trucks, the grille as well. I was able to get a cam through a '67 C10 about 20 years ago during a cam swap... but the grille has two long open spaces.

Or as stated above, you will have it setting in your driveway for a long time. There is a lot more to this than meets the eye. Even though in the end it is really simple.
You said in the first post that you have a buddy to help. How much experience does he have?

A good service manual breaks it down EZPZ on the step by step.
