If the engine is just stuck from sitting & there is no great evidence of rust on the plugs you might try putting some oil or penetrating oil and some Oil of Wintergreen in each cylinder. Let it stand for as long as possible then carefully try to rotate the flywheel either way with a good pry bar on the ring gear teeth from below. You should first remove the rocker cover & see that all of the valves are free - The older Chevrolet engines tend to stick their valves, then on getting the crank shaft turning the push rods will bend or the rockers can break.

Be careful..... they can look good but blow like a shotgun......

In good shape they can handle 50 PSI but play safe....you can roll it around easily at 15 to 20 pounds....the tire carcass will take a lot to flex and carry a lot of weight even with just 5 pounds in the tires.... check the side walls outside and on the inside for cracking....

For driving around 35 pounds unloaded would be good......

Careful to check it out before starting . Some
engines will run and then seize from bearing
degradation. Sometimes better to check the
bearing first.

Hi, I have filled the cylinders with duck oil and removed the rear buck and front nose, one of the rear brake drums is stuck on. I have a question regarding the steel pressure vessel mounted in the passanger side glove box position, whats is it for?. One pipe to it leads to the inlet manifold through a diaphram device, this steel container was found full of water when removed, I am guessing its some kind a vacuum resovoir perhaps for the brake system .

Any pictures....? may be to help with the wipers....

Is the truck equipped with a brake booster underneath and connected to the master cylinder....?

Curious??
