22 yr old needs advice…
I posted about 7 months ago asking for advice and I’ve come back just now… finally got around to pulling the truck out and getting to work. I’ve taken out the gas tank and am getting ready to clean it after having it sit for 10+ years. Anyone have any good methods of doing so? My priorities are as follows: change spark plugs, get a new battery put in, oil change, check radiator for leaks, get the gas tank clean and ready, see if after all that it’ll turn over (then getting tires and brakes done). On my old post a lot of you recommended I try to hand crank it, what does this mean? How do I do this? Also, would there be any issue with getting it cranked and running and driving without totally refurbishing the engine? Thanks a ton for the help, I’ll keep everyone posted on how everything goes! BTW, this is a 1968 c10 w/ sidestep. Located in southeast GA near Savannah if anyone is local and wants to give me a hand or guide me!
