I would like to know the step by step. Also how did you prep and finish your axles?

nu2-72,
The factory shop manual and assembly manual are real good resources when you're doing a restoration on your truck. This board is an awesome resource too. I wish there was a real good book written specifically for trucks with info on details like proper colors for components etc, but there's not. There are great books for Camaro, Chevelle, Corvette and such that are good on detail stuff, and most of the info correlates with trucks too. I've used them plenty of times to figure something out. One thing I do is take pictures and notes during disassembly so that I can use them to put things back the way they were when it comes time to reassemble. Take good pics of little things like clip colors & locations, hard lines & hose routing, wire routing and what types of fasteners are used. Any of the details you think will be important when you put it back together. I always try to determine the original color of components too. Make notes so you can put them back the way they're meant to be.
That's some of what I do. I'm sure there's plenty of ideas floating around this board also. Like I said, this is an awesome resource right here.
