The best thing to do would be drain some fuel out of the bottom of each tank.There will be some water on the bottom and rather than change your filters 4 or 5 times drain most of it first before you start it.You also will want to break the drain plug loose on the oil pan and see if any water runs out.You might as well check all the gear boxes while under the truck.Chances are there could be some water settled out and before you move it would be better to get it out.Then I would start it.You might still have to change the fuel filters but if you drain the water off the bottom of the tanks maybe only have to change them once.Then I would change the motor oil after I got it running if it looked good.If it looked milky or something I would change it first before I started it.
