'79 F250

I recently pulled my late father's '79 F250 out of a chicken house. I hope to fix it up so my son and I can create memories in the same truck my father and I did. I have pics in a album.

Welcome to the club! That looks tough one, how long she was sitting?

Hasn't been moved in six years. Huge rats nest in the cab and fender. Motor was seized from not moving. Put some Mystery oil in the plug holes and let it set for a week. Was able to turn over the motor with a breakover. Having to figure out which radiator is the right one, as someone ripped out the old one along with the transmission cooler when it was abandoned.
