The past few weeks me and a buddy of mine have been working on his 79 bronco. It had been sitting in his woods since 2002 and hadnt ran since. We drug it out and changed the oil in it poured a little gas in the carb and the thing fired up first try.

I forgot to mention the other fluids, we flushed the radiator but we havent drained the transmission yet and the chunk is gone out of the rear so there isnt any gear oil there and when we do the rear end swap we are gonna drain the front. and we are in the process of replacing the fuel lines and hoses

and by far the funniest part of this whole project is that the original motor used to be at his grandparents and is apparently missing/stolen/sold for scrap. Only person ive ever met that has lost a motor

Thats terrible to lose a motor. The casting numbers are on the block, right where the body of the starter sits. You might be able to see them without removing the starter, but its only 2 bolts and odds are there is dirt/grime buildup right there.
