    I'm not sure if this needs to go in the job section or not,
    Where can a guy put an old truck to works At. Vans, flat , tank I don't care, age limits are crazy, I understand why, but come on, a good truck is a good truck.

    I'm looking to buy my friends 359 with 3406b it's been sitting for 7 years what could I do to ensure that I wouldn't damage anything since inframe was done 2 years before he got sick. Any advice would be greatly appreciate I been reading changing the fuel filter and adding diesel to the new filter. Thanks again.

    If it's not been started in 7 years,you need to get the oil pressure up first. Take the wire off shut off solenoid and crank in short burst till you get oil to the top of motor.
