Hi everybody,
I am new to this kind of thing, not only the internet forum but also working on trucks. I was recently given my wife's uncle's 87 Chevy k20 Scottsdale after he passed away. Both my wife's mom and her uncle passed away from pancreatic cancer, so I would like to build this truck to show my wife that it is possible to take something ugly and make it beautiful again. The truck is probably better suited for the junk yard but I am willing to give it my time and extra money whenever I have it. It has been a year since the truck was last driven and when I went to check the fluids I noticed that there was no anti freeze in the system, and i dont know when there was any, is there a way to clean any rust out of the system or am I looking at a whole engine rebuild. Also the clutch only ingages when the pedal is pressed all the way to the floor, do I need a new clutch or do I just need to check the hydrolic fluid? Thanks for any help you can give. First step for me is getting the truck running and from there I will work on gussing it up. Besides the antifreeze what else should I check or replace before I wake the beast up from its slumber?
P.s. it is a 350 ci engine
