I have an 85 2wd shorty that has been in storage for the last 10 years or so. I just fired it up last weekend and am going to freshen up some stuff and start using it again. Its a pretty good truck just needing some cleaning and TLC. The ride quality will need to improve and I may de-flame it. Not sure yet

Thanks for the welcome everyone. This weekend I drained out the 10 year old gas (It did run still) and cleaned out the carb. It runs and sounds pretty good with the new fuel. The rear brakes are grabbing so next weekend its getting a brake job.
