First, welcome to the”Bolt”! Your absolutely right that it is the best site to help restoring your Stovebolt. Your well on your way to getting your truck on the road and I love the color!
It was last running about three years ago and ready to pull it out of the pole barn when the temps let up. Meantime, I'm putting the body back together starting with the hood.
Posting this also on the DITY gallery section ==> To make sure I don't screw things before turning her over after the 3 year 'sleep': I've already given each cylinder a shot or two of WD and let it sit for a couple day. Then I was thinking of an oz of kerosene mixed with 10W30 in each cylinder and let it set for another day or two, then try and hand-crank the flywheel just to coax things loose. Does this make sense...other suggestions? Thanks!
Now I know that this is not the forum for giving advice, but since you haven’t posted your question to the correct forum and I believe that it’s imperative that you perform this step, I going to break the rules. Make sure you prime the oil system until you see oil coming out of the both the furthest rockers, front and back. If you don’t know how to do this, either do a search or post a question in the “Engine” forum and I or others will walk you thru the procedure.
