Seized 51 Chevy pickup can we get it running and driving since it was last on the road in 1976?

We bought this Canadian 1951 Chevy 1430 pickup that was abandoned in a pole shed for almost 12 years, and was unknown how long it as outside before that. The truck seemed to be in great shape other than a stuck drum in the rear and that the motor is stuck? How stuck is unknown but the plan is to get the strait 6 unstuck and get some brakes working and drive her around the yard.
