A bit overwhelmed. Any advice?

I'll try to get to the point quick. So last April I finally bought myself a truck, having no money and being dumb I picked up a 1980 lwb for next to nothing. It needs everything. I replaced the headgaskets on the 350(target master crate I think) and got it running.. not very well though.

Fast forward to the end of September, I lose my job. Luckily I got a call 3 days after being let go from the place I'd been wanting to work for over 2 years. But I had 2 weeks off so I tore the front clip off and bagged up all the bolts and removed all accessories from the engine. That brings us to today

The truck needs everything basically and I've never done anything like this before. I want to work on it but I seem to get overwhelmed everytime I try to. I work 5pm-5am during the week and 1pm-9pm on saturdays. This leaves me with little time to get anything done on my truck, so I really want to be as efficient as I can be with the time I do have.

I've tried making lists but I just don't know where to start really. I'd rather not keep disassembling without replaces to go back in the old parts places..

Any advice on where to start or how you guys go about this big of a project with little time?

Sorry if this went nowhere. I have so many questions I don't want to pack them all into this post lol
