my long horn was the same kind of deal. i wasnt there when they fired it up after ten years. it has 32k on it at the time. but i am sure you will need to flush the gas tanke, replace all the rubber hoses, belts. flush the radiato, oil changes (like longhornmail is saying) you will prob need a carb rebuild as well. they gum up bad after that long.

if it were me, it syphon out that old gas and put new high grade stuff in there, new fule filter and rubber fule line. then

id prob dump as much oil as would come out, chaing the oil filter, and new oil.. pull the dist and prime the oil pump. pulling the spark plugs for the first turns of the engine is agood idea. maybe even a little squirt of oil in each cyl. then crank for a bit.

once started run it for a while,then dump oil again. take it on a few short drive making sure everything gets good an hot.id also change the trany and rear end fluids as well. lub all the zerts.

the worst thing would be flushin the gas tank. only one of my tanks were done. i and sure tell the differance when i changed the sending units.

bottom line is get it. im dieing to find one of them. you lucky dog!!!

oh ya., dont worry about it sitting. my truck sat for ten years, its like driving a new truck now. 43k now and counting!
