She started! - 68 LWB Step, Farm Truck
A while back, in this thread, I got lots of good advice about starting my Grandfather's farm truck that had been sitting in a field for 12 years.
I just want to say, THANKS for all of the help! After putting that advice to use, I got the old girl started today. She was coughing and sputtering for a while, but after ten minutes, she seemed to remember what to do. Once I figuered out the manual choke, she idled really nice for twenty minutes or so. Oil pressure looked good and she sounded pretty strong. The temp guage was not giving any reading, so I did not want to run her too long. But it was a great thrill! I never saw any leaks, either. I did not move her. I could not get her into gear. So I just let her idle for a while. But it sure was exciting, anyways!
