New guy from Virginia

Just found the forum today.
Ive got a 1946 Ford 2 ton truck that my grandpa bought brand new.
I used to drive it as a kid; parked it in the shed about 30 years ago.
Its in great shape but discovered that the engine is locked up. Ive been soaking it in everything I can think of (Marvels Mystery Oil, diesel fuel, etc...) for the last 6 months.
But I need to get to the flywheel and see if I can wiggle it back and forth. I havent figured out how to do that yet and obviously havent even started doing much but I hope to get it running for old times sake.
I hope you all can help me when I get further into this ol' truck!
Thanks,

Tim
