Charged the battery that was in the truck, but i am not sure if it worked, and i have a charger. It Snowed recently, when i get the ignition switch any tips to make cold starting the engine easier? Also, how does one put fuel into the carburator to get it started?

Odds are, it's going to be hard to start after sitting so long anyway. Do you know if you have a manual choke, electric choke or do you have one at all? If in doubt, take a pic of the passenger side of the carburetor, with the air cleaner removed, and post it.
