Anybody do up a plan to follow first?

I have two household projects to complete and then I get started on the transformation of my truck. I am looking for an organized schedule or plan (in a list form) for a vehicle project that I can use as a reference - I don't want to start off in 12 directions and have 6 of these and none of those when it comes to parts or half finished mini-projects.
Here's what I'm doing - I have a 72 C10 lwb - next week picking up the motor - 3/4 completed (I have to finish) by race engine builder (buddy of mine) - 454 spec'd out at 500hp and turbo 400 to go with it (to be rebuilt). Plan is a weekend cruiser that can I can also run at the drags occasionally. I have my shop ready to bring the truck in and start the tear down. I will be doing a frame up "re-do" not a restoration per-se but building it the way I want it (by myself). I am looking for a schedule I can scrutinize for things that I might not have thought of yet or things that'll get an "oh yeah, didn't anticipate that!" I'm kinda anal about stuff so I have to have a plan before I go tearing off into fantasy land! Got a pretty good size shop and a butt load of tools - not all I will need or want (probably never will!) but a good start... Anybody do it this way? Trying to get pics attached of the starting point.
