I am a very new owner of a 1931 pickup. Over the last two weeks I have gotten it running to the point it does not make me nervous to leave my neighborhood with out my phone in my pocket. New fuel and electrical systems and it seems to do well. I need to get the timing set better, but that is another topic.
I would like to change the oil and anti-freeze as I am pretty sure they have not been changed since the truck was moth balled 25 years ago. I do not want to start a debate over what brand everybody is loyal to, but am interested in ratio and type of anti-freeze, and what type oil to use.

Thanks for any assistance to a very NEW owner.
