1949 Project....What to do??

[Jesse49chevy]

I bought a 49 Chevy pu. Its my dream truck and its taken me over 20 years to finally get one. Now that I have it, I dont know where to start. It is in rough shape, it has the original in line 6. I want to update the suspension, but like anyone else, I have to pinch pennies. I have an opportunity to buy a 72 Nova, it is running, it has a 305, automatic trans, A/C. and 17" 5 spoke wheels, Am i able to use the front suspension? the rear end? I need a little guidance, I am a good hand, I can do just about anything, but I have never done this so, just need some advise from some experienced people.
My goal with this truck? make it a daily driver with a nice mean stance, upgrade the frame, and keep the rest simple but nice.
