Brought home my first square body. 1989 Silverado C10. Utah

Just brought this old girl home. She sat in a field for 10 years. Hasn’t been ran or registered since 2014 it looks like. Excited to fire her up for the first time! Not sure where to start though. Ordered a Carb rebuild kit for the quadrajet. I think I’ll start there and see what she says. Would love advice. Also anyone around Riverdale Utah? Love to have a beer and bs and work on trucks.

Welcome from Austria. Watch some episodes of Stay Tuned, Vice Grip Garage, Finnegan's Garage or Roadkill. There are many shows that show how to revive a car that sat for decades.

I would start by checking to see if the motor will turn by hand. Did the PO tell you why they parked it? I would change the oil, spark plugs, cap rotor, wires. You know just give it a basic tune up. Check all of you fuel lines from the tank to the motor. Replace all rubber fuel lines. Replace the ground and started cable. Give it a good fighting chance to start.

That’s what my neighbor said too! Haha. I honestly have no clue other than whatever my glove box and door and radiator cowl and the serial number on the carburetor says. I’ll take some pictures when I get home. Thought I had some. But honestly I don’t know the difference yet.
