300 will not move/roll.Its STUCK!

Posted by Copperdog on October 22, 2011 at 14:54:21 from (204.12.188.129):

After reading threads for years on YT and getting great help on several restorations I need some help. My son just purchased his next project a 1955 300 w/ ta. The tin is near perfect,engine free and nice options.

It will not move. We pulled shifter and checked rail alignment and movement. good but rusty. A little PB and it was freed up.Removed brakes,stll nothing. Opened other cover on platform and looked in to find lots rust. Pulled drain and got 2 gals. of water and 1 gal oil. Filled with 3 gal of ATF and 5 gal of diesel to let it soak.

Previous owner says it sat out for 3 years ( in Texas)but ran when parked. Could it just be from all the rust? Any ideas on the next move? Should I just get started taking the platform off now?

Thanks in advance for the help.[/quote]
