Hey All,

Just wanted to say thanks for the comments and help. Lesson Learned haha. But i do have some news that is much more up everyones alley. This weekend i was finally able to start looking into the original 1936 pickup i bought. Obviously it isn't perfect but after weeks of PB Blaster on every Spark plug, and a few weeks of Marvel Mystery Oil, I finally decided to figure out if this truck was going to become a parts truck (i know it would of been a real shame but i'm not made of money either) or if i was actually going to try and get this truck on the road as original (which i highly prefer). If the motor was seized it would have really made it hard to put money into instead of using parts off the truck. But Like i said, this is GOOD news. It turned over no problem. (I tried to upload a video but am having some difficulties) I do need to replaces the distributor as its missing a piece on one side. Anything to look for or avoid? Im going to replace all the spark plugs and wires as well. Id like to get this running!
