Newbie 72 Cheyenne - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

New to the board and C10s. Picking up a 72 Cheyenne this weekend. Seems to be in pretty good shape. Its been sitting for about 5 years.

I'd like to change out the fluids. What weight oil is recommended for these older vehicles? Dino or synthetic? Would a zinc additive be necessary?

I'd like to flush the brake fluid so I need to know what is recommended there also, DOT3, etc. Is this a pretty easy procedure?

Thanks in advance!
