new 1950 to me...part of the Ad club - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just took delivery of a 1950 chevy. It is rough, but I want to go the rat rod route so I'm not conserned with body apperance. It has a nice patina. I really don't know much about these trucks, so it will be a fun little learning experience.
First question, the pervious owner did not know if the engine was seized or not and did not know the condition of the engine or rear end... so my question is...what is the best way to check these items out safely?
The truck does not have a key, is there a safe way to bump over the starter?
