Ever let your truck sit too long?

[1985K10]

WELL DONT! My father and I were moving around our 'project' trucks tonight and had a little trouble.

First, the 83C10, sat all summer, dead battery, flat tire. Blew up the tire, jumped it, and problem #1 water pump making noise(bearings are shot). I go to move it and lose the brakes, a line popped.

Next-84K30 dually dumper, try to drive it and left rear tire spins, RR is locked up. The brakes were disconnected and moisture got it, locked the brakes. OK, go to shut the truck down and guess what.....ignition is locked up, truck wont shut off. Vise grips and WD-40 fixed that, then we lifted the rear of the truck with the backhoe and rolled it to the side.

So now we have brake lines to replace, and brakes to unfreeze, and a possible broken ign lock cylinder on top of all the other work these trucks need.

Just wanted to say....even if its up and down the driveway, keep these trucks movin!
