Recently brought home my grandpa's dump truck that my uncle had up at his property in Silver Bay, MN. It has been sitting out in the woods for the past 25 years, and my dad and I went up and pulled it out of the ground (sunk to the axles!) with the bobcat and winched it onto the trailer to bring it back down to the cities for a new life!! It has a 292 out of a 67 C20 in it and after a quick ignition system freshen up, the truck fired to life on the first crank on 25 year old gas! Like most of these old rigs the brakes are non existent, but the parking brake is free and still works for lot driving. I am very excited to bring this old big bolt back to life and take it for a proper first drive!!
The image is too blurry to tell. Is the other vehicle a Ford TT?

The non-ethanol old gas might still be good but there is most certainly water in that old gas tank. Probably rust particles, too. Drain out the gas, filter out the crud with cheese cloth and use it in a lawn mower.
