Make sure you've got the correct voltage battery, most if not all cars back then ran 6 volt systems. You might have gotten lucky on the fuel depending where you live and exactly when it was last driven. The main issue with old gas is the ethanol separating, then absorbing moisture from the air, which rusts your fuel tank out. However, even California didn't ban MTBE, the anti-knock additive that ethanol replaced, until 2003, so you might have the older formulation, in which case just filling the tank and diluting the old stuff would be enough. Do you have an accessible, inline fuel filter (ie not in the tank)? If so, I'd try and run it for a little bit, then check the filter for rust; if it's clean, you're probably okay. Sweet car, and that truck is glorious.

Check to make sure you're getting voltage to the coil. Points are ancient voodoo and replacing them is probably a good idea.

Sounds like it's probably time for a carb rebuild, yeah.
