Question Advice for a new owner of an old truck?

Hey guys,

Just bought my first GMC truck, Im going to take it tomorrow, its a 94" 1500 6.5 4x4 extended cab. The truck has been seating in the garage for several years, it only has 56.000 miles on it. This engine is realy rare here in Brazil, it only came in a few trucks that were imported back in the days. Any advice for first start? I bought it on an auction of a brazilian army and they cant really say how it was running when it stopped.

It does not have the original air filter, so I'm going to buy a new intake. Need new batteries, this truck came with 2, has anyone put a bigger battery so u can use only one?

They are not very reliable but just do the basics first like spark plugs, wires, fluid changes, etc...
