Default flathead ran with no oil

A pal brought his 50 Ford over this afternoon.He went to leave and it wouldn't start.Checked spark and petrol and all fine.
I stuck a spanner on the crank to rotate engine to get TDC to check if timing was out and i could barely move the spanner
It started cranking slower and slower and then the engine started squeaking.
turns out there was no oil in it whatsoever.
He's left it here and I was going to stick some oil in it and give it a try but not holding my breath
any thoughts appreciated
Thanks
Neil
