Complete brake job - insights?

Dear All, Im getting ready to perform a complete brake job on my 58 1/2 ton short step. Im keeping the truck completely original, got a new original style master cylinder, all new drums, pads, hoses, wheel cylinders, spring kits, adjuster wheels, and upgraded to roller bearings all around. Ive never worked on brakes before and will have a buddy join me who is experienced. Still, I wanted to ask if there are any tips, pitfalls, etc that you would offer that could save me some time, or just prepare me for the work. Is it a pain in the butt? Ive had guys tell me its a breeze to do the brakes on these old trucks, others not so much. ANy insights would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mark
