350 Stock Machine work

I have a 1969 C-10 SWB 350 Automatic stock engine. I pulled it out of the truck and stripped it down to the block. There is noticable lip in the cyclinder wall and also there isn't a stamp on the piston so I don't beleive it has been bored before. I'll have the machinist check. My Question is. I want to rebuild this engine. Nothing crazy just a master rebuild kit and and what ever machine work that needs to be done. The problem is I don't know what machine work needs to be done.

Bore and Hone the cylinders
get it dipped to clean it up
and have it checked for cracks.

It was smoking bluish smoke and I assumed that the # 8 cyclinder ring was bad because when I broke it down there was a noticible amount of black grime on the exhaust of the # 8 cylinder.

I'm no profressional when it comes to engine. I'm deployed right now to Afghanstan and would like some advice so I can get started. I know that I will need to get a master rebuild kit so I have the pistons in order for the cylinders to be honed.

I'm not looking for anything fancy just the minimums to get the truck up and running strong again.
