You've already found the #1 place for info and advice. Everyone here is friendly and helpful. Just don't be offended by a little "ribbing" now and then, it’s all in good humor.
Greg Coffin’s Power Train Survival Guide for WDX-WM300 Power Wagons 1946-1968, lists every bearing and oil seal in the drive train plus many engine, electrical, fuel and brake parts, all with modern part numbers used by you local parts store! This book has saved me countless hours of searching/asking and waiting. Just walk into NAPA with the part number and walk out with the part!

E-mail Vintage Power Wagons (dodge@vintagepowerwagons.com) and get on their mailing list. They sell lots of new, used and NOS parts. They are a wealth of info and nice guys to boot!
Get a copy of an Illustrated Parts book. The part #’s may not help, but it has exploded views of most major components. This helps you put it back together the CORRECT way. My truck had several things that were re-assembled incorrectly over the last 50 years!
Copy useful posts to a e-mail or a Word document. I started doing this 2 years before I bought my truck and I still reference them regularly.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions on this board. I have never seen a stupid question posted, and someone here has “been there, done that” and is more than willing to help you through it.
Good luck!
