1940 dodge pickup.. how do I start it?

[charmcity]

I recently was given my grandfathers 1940 dodge pickup truck that has been sitting for a bit. I have been just looking over the truck and fixing a few things and just trying to become familiar with it. I have gotten it to the point where I can start it up but after tons of research that led to nothing I just cant seem to figure it out how to do that.

Welcome to the site. First you're on the car side. While the starting part is basically the same as a car you'll do better putting truck stuff on the truck part of the forum. 

Now are you saying you are trying to start it and it won't? Or looking for how to revive it safely and attempt to start it?
