no mechanical knowledge!..can you replace the battery yourself? if so,go get a new battery,check the oil level in the motor,buy a 12 volt compressor to air up the tires,five gallons of fresh gas in the tank,a small battery charger,put the new battery in,hook the compressor up,air up the tires,check/top off the oil,pour the gas in,take the air cleaner off,pour a small amount of gas down the carb(SMALL AMOUNT)and crank it up,it will probaly start and die,pour a little more gas down the carb and repeat till it runs on its on,if this does not work after 3 or 4 tries call a wrecker....or find a local shop or ford dealer and talk to one of the techs,he may come after work to help you out....no all mechanics are bad

X2

Drain all fuel, add 5 gal fresh Ethanol free gas,
Miami UNBRANDED 5th St Marina Lukfuel 341 Nw S River Dr
Miami AMERIKA Amerika Gas Station 6401 Sw 8th St
Miami SHELL Hammock Marine 9610 Old Cutler Rd
Miami VALVTECT Loggerhead Club Marina 24777 Sw 87th Ave
Miami SUNOCO Old Cutler Rd Sunoco 20245 Franjo Rd
Miami UNBRANDED Scotty's Landing 3381 Pan American Dr
Miami SUNOCO Sunoco 22025 Sw 112th Ave
Miami WESTAR Westar 675 Nw 42nd At 7th St
Miami Gardens SUNOCO Sunoco [305-628-5065] 19501 Nw 57th Ave

Open hood check all fluids and fill as needed,
Check trans, transfer and rear end and top off, front end will be fine unless you put it in 4x4.
Pop in a new battery, give it a shot, may have to remove the carb and have it rebuilt as the ethanol gas may have it gummed up pretty good.

I checked on it last night and its actually in really good condition (from what it looks like) theres some spiderwebs around but the tires arent really deflated it rolls back and forth so im guessing the brakes didnt lock up. How can I post a picture on here?
