Thanks everyone for all of the advice.

Just a couple things about the condition the vehicle is in: the truck was restored over several years by my dad and his father-in-law who owned a body shop. If there is anything that could have corroded over say 15 years, then it's probably shot. But everything else should be in good shape because they entered this in parades and such. So it was running regularly.

I guess I shouldn't say my overall goal in so short a time is to get it running, rather I just want to prevent any damage that can occur from sitting for so long. Having said that, it'd of course be fantastic to get it going. But I'll only have a day to work on it, so I'm just trying to do what I can.
