Starting an engine (Been 5 years since last started) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am going to drain the gas and put new in. I am going to replace the fuel pump and spray Gum out down the carborator. I am going to change the oil and anti-freeze. I am replaceing the plugs wires, cap and rotor. I guess what I need to know is should I spray something in the cylinders when I change the spark plugs? The truck needs a complete frame up but I am going to drive it until my other projects are complete. The motor has 46,000 original miles on it, so im guessing it probably is in pretty good shape. Does anyone know of anything else I should do before I start the motor?
Thanks,
JRB
