Sitting for 26 years

[nmxhustla]

Just picked this 84 up from my grandmas house. My grandpa parked it back in 1995 and it literally just sat there my whole life. I was born in 94 so I have memories of it parked and just sitting my entire life. Well I finally have the funds to do something with it so I had it towed to where I live so let's see what happens.

Do you know about soaking the pistons before turning the motor over by hand?

I sprayed a bunch of wd40 in the cylinders the night before but I turned it over with the starter oops haha

Get it running clean it up and maybe lower it since ill never need it for towing or anything i Want to keep it basically stock. Same rims and all.

Nothing wrong with that exactly. Turning over by hand first just reduces damage if there is something wrong.

That's very clean for a work truck. You must not get much snow where you are in NC. Or at least they don't throw down as much salt as the Northeast.

Nah its actually here in NM, I moved back and it's been here in NM since purchase I just found the original owners manual and stuff it was bought out here in Albuquerque. Also found a voucher for a free whopper with no expiration date so things are going well haha
