Congrats on getting a plan for that old truck. Mine sat for 21 years, (until the kids went to college) had to pull plugs, lube, spin the oil pump and break it free. The motor was locked, but it did pop free, I was able to get it rocking a little with a breaker bar and just kept working it. Had to replace carb and other parts, but it runs and sounds just like it did when I was much younger. Got some Garage pics?
