I would be more worried about crap/dirt/junk that got in through the intake/exhaust into the cylinders.
There could be water in the crankcase, and combustion chambers. And just going to crank it over could window the block real fast.

I don't know if you actually seen this truck in person, But these vechicles have been flooded with a combination of salt and fresh water (brekish I believe its called ) I'm sure the motor is good but I've seen some of these vehicles and that type of water plays major havoc on the electrical components. Not to mention that most of these were flooded over the top.Some of the aluminum peices I seen look like they were left outside for years.Even if you get it running now, your future with such a vechicle can't be good. Just my .02 Good Luck
