Hello, this is my first post. I will add pictures and my info into the first timers thread soon. Im in need of some info please.
I just picked up a 1952 GMC 150 3/4 ton, all original with a 228 L6. Im sure the truck has been sitting since 1996 (thats the last reg sticker on plate) The truck in very complete under the hood and was told it was running when parked (heard that before). The only thing that was missing was the battery. I just picked up a 6 volt battery and Im ready to try to fire it. Any suggestions? It has the floor mounted starter switch that I am unfamiliar with, a chocke and a throttle knob. What are these used for? This is the oldest vehicle I have owned and I have never used these before. What is the process to start? What should I check before I attempt to start? Doesnt the positive get grounded on the battery and the negative go to the starter? Sorry to sound dumb, but I love to learn and I do not plan on parting with this truck so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks inj advance!
