Re: '72 barn find (kinda)

With it sitting that long and obviously not taken care of, like starting it regularly. there could be a lot of mechanical issues. If the truck wasn't put into storage correctly, brakes and engine could be locked up. The carb will need to be rebuilt, check the fluid in the tranny before starting the engine, if you don't you could burn up the tranny if doesn't already need to be rebuilt. The tires are probably dry rotted. Price could change a lot based on whether you can drive it, or it has to be towed home. You need to go into this expecting to have to do a bunch of mechanical work to make it a safe reliable driver.
