Water in a cylinder or two I would say. That really rusty plug says it all. The air cleaner lid on those trucks is a perfect funnel for water down the carb. A friend of mine has the exact same truck with the same problem at the moment and we have the cylinders soaking in Marvel oil and Seafoam in hopes to break it loose. There is a rubber seal between the hood and cowl that leaks the water right on top of the air cleaner lid and right down the carb stud in the engine. We drained about 3 gallons of water out of the oil pan after pulling the plugs and finding two cylinders right full to the top. Put a Cummins in it and be done with it. Those old 370 and 429 gassers will empty your wallet feeding them, especially running PTO all day for hydraulics.

Try putting some diesel down the bores, friend did that on an engine that was siezed soild, left it for a day or two and it cranked free. Worth a shot for minimal cost, and if it cranks after that, it might crank over and fire up, though will smoke like hell for a bit.

I bet you could get it running with just a little time. Pull the heads and see if it’s seized or not. The crane alone is worth 3 times what you payed for it. If you got it going you’d use it move than than you think. Cranes beat the shit out of front end loads, forklifts, and your back for picks.

I think I remember now the crank snout on the commercial truck engine was different, so was the balancer, and the timing cover. It turned the belt drive for the air compressor into a project. Some thing else was a project too. I think the oil lines for the compressor or the mounting, maybe both. Those trucks aren't worth doing any kind of swap in anyway. Best to just fix what's there. You never put enough miles on them to make a diesel swap pay off. Anybody who is going to put out the money to insure a boom truck, and get the crane certification, isn't going to use an old truck/crane like that. That's like something you use around your own shop and yard

Thanks for the fascinating story! I learned a lot. Keep it up. Regular old brake fluid is the best bolt buster for the money. You need to put 8 quarts of brake fluid into the engine crankcase and let it set 24 hours. A 36" chain type pipe wrench will grip the outside of the crank pulley and give you the ability to reverse the rotation. That spark plug with the white crap looks like there is a blown head gasket letting coolant into the cylinder. An engine with the plugs left out indicates to me that it failed a compression test and was left to be overhauled or scrapped. The truck as scrap metal is worth $700 if you can get it to the recyclers.

as steamfan71 said grab a cummins/allison powered schoolbus cheap, , BUT the main question is, what can you realistically hope to get out of this battlewagon? , love these old trucks. friend had one but as a bucket truck. it helped me get over my fear of heights, he said climb in and try it out. so i did.

How much was the tow? For $700 plus a used engine I bet you could have a good side business setting roof trusses and helping take home other auction accidents for other people.

Looks like you have too many projects.. SELL IT! Or keep it for few years, move it 100 times, and then sell it..

the PB blaster is a good start, fill the engine cylinders full with Marvel Mystery oil. 2 weeks or a month later hook chain to the truck and shake the engine. what james nelson said check the starter.

i had a chevy engine that was locked up that tight from sitting 20 years in a wrecked truck, 1 month with the marvel mystery oil and the engine turns and soon will used for another project.

Many trucks like that do have low miles, but actually has many hours of operation from being used as a crane.

If you look at that odometer, the first two digits are both sitting high which indicates that is has turned over twice. I agree with others, put a new motor in and resell it.

Water leaks down the back of the hood right on top of the air filter lid leaking into the intake and down the cylinders locking it up. Been there done that. Good luck
