Was thinking about getting the 29 truck running. It's been sitting for many years without being ran, Iv'e been soaking the cylinders with penetrating oil and I need to figure out how to get oil to the rest of the engine before I turn it over.
That car show at the air port sounds great Mark get some pictures if you go I would love to see some more of the caddy if it's there.

Hi Fred...the first thing I would check is if it is free to turn over with a crank or a Johnson bar and socket on the crankshaft. If it moves then great. Change the oil and keep cranking it so hopefully the oil pump or the splash system will coat the inside of the motor. Put some gas down the carb and stand back lol. Good luck. You may land up with a large muscular arm on the one side though lol. If the starter is still good then use it but remember it's a 6 volt system.
