You can get a $80 hammer and dolly set and do your own bodywork. It's not crazy hard just time consuming. Good thinking time
I just hammered a good sized dent in my flywheel cover and it came out really smooth. It's pretty fun, if a little noisy.
About your float prob, theres a little metal stopper at the tail end of the float in the carburetor. sometimes those are too big/short/flimsy in the rebuild kits so they don't seat. If youre lucky he just didnt adjust the float right and you can just tear it apart one weekend and fix it easily with a spoon. You might be able to bend it so it seats better.
wish I could help more with the book. I'd get this one

That's the main manual and the supplement. It should cover most of your truck, I'd think
