Trucks been sitting for 5 years due to tranny issue. It's going to a trusted mechanic soon, presumably the tranny will have to be rebuilt and presumably there will be fuel system issues as well. I know very little about it at the moment.
Anyway, far as I know (and hope) it's a 350. Hypothetically speaking, if you were to go into a project blind and mechanically ignorant, what would be your mechanical priorities to get the old girl up to *****? I believe the tranny or engine have been rebuilt at some point in the past, but ODO reads 407k miles. Ideally I'd like to lift it and make this truck a DD and project that I can eventually hand down to my son when I'm too old to climb into it. It's been neglected for a long time so I can safely guess there's a LOT of work to be done.
