Ford flatheads are notorious for seizing up from sitting.
This is an inherrent design flaw as the valve stems point downwards and the valves seat from the top. When they are closed they rust in place.
Forcing it to turn ovet is asking to do damage to the valve train.

Default Fords

Thanks, Chris. I got similar advice from a few Ford fans as well. Hopefully, the F15 will find a home by this springtime.

It is a 4x4 isn't it? If so it is an F15A. If it is a 4x2, then it's designation is F15 - just a friendly heads up to not confuse prospective buyers

Hanno, Thanks - I fixed it. Got a few nibbles on the truck, but no good bites yet. I wish Chevs were as easy to find in such a complete (relatively) state.
