I have an opportunity to purchase a 1966 Chevy 1 ton Dump Truck. The truck itself ran a couple of years ago, but has been parked in the barn for the past 2 years. Went to try to start it, but no luck, also no brakes.
Apparently there was gas getting to the carb, cause it was running down the carb, but never fired. I was told the dump hydraulics worked well.
My questions are.(1) I think we could get it running, but not sure what could be damaged by sitting so long. (2) on Older vehicles, can you get parts w/out too much trouble or at a reasonable price? (3) Is non leaded gas a problem with the older engine? (4) Although this seems to be cheap on the front end, I see a lot of work, Anyone with similar experience want to offer some advice..
Thanks for any ideas...
