The old owner parked it in his garage and went through a nasty divorce and it hasn't been moved/ran in 3 years.Hopefully late Friday night it will come to life .Wish me Luck....

WE were able to then tie the door to the steering wheel and did the same with the drivers side.I hope someone learns from my mistake that when towing or transporting a old car to always put a catch rope of some type on your doors. I had checked and locked the doors before the trip , but I guess the vibration shook it open.

I am guessing that you must have had the truck loaded backwards, and that's how it was damaged.
