i doubt you will haul this years crop with a truck thats been sitting that long. as mentioned the brake system will need to be rebuilt completely, the rubber parts deteriorate with time and sitting,the last thing you need is brake failure with a full load! as do seals, which will start leaking when the truck starts moving around, should drain and change all the fluids most of which will have water contamination, failing to do this will just be more expensive to repair later, the engine oil and filter should be changed before you even try to start it, and before you put the gas to it,prepare for the fuel pump to either be bad or go bad soon after you get it running, it has rubber in it too. you need to make sure the engine isnt locked up and no valves are stuck,get a socket and breaker bar and rotate the engine by hand several revolutions using the big nut on the end of the crankshaft , carb will probably need a kit, but it may be ok to start, ideally the new oil should be circulated thru the engine before trying to start with a tool made for this job to prevent dry starting, and to reduce the chance of spinning a bearing which will mean game over right quick, when it does start. prepare to do a full tune up on the old rig, i imagine the rats and squirrels ect have had their fun in there, there is a lot to bringing any vehicle back to life after its sat 16 years, but done properly you will probably have a good truck when your done and it will last for quite a while if taken care of, those were good old trucks
