Thanks Jim
Sounds about what I expected. I will pull the plugs too and see how they look, probably just replace them along with fresh gas to get the beast running then change the oil.
From there I will start tearing into it and replacing hoses, belts, etc.
Now that Chilton manual needs to find its way to my house...
If you pull them, might as well replace them. Jim pretty much covered it. Check the tires for cracks/dry rot.
