Default Truck sat for 3 years

My 83 F250 has been sitting for 3 years at a friends property.

I'm finally leaving Hawaii and it will be my only vehicle for a month or so. I've ordered fuel lines, fuel filter and water separator, return hats and lines, and plan on changing all the fluids and cleaning and flushing out the fuel tank. Batteries were replace right before it was parked but I'm prepared to buy new ones. Of course im going to
to check the brakes and safety equipment before any real driving.

Anything I'm missing before trying to crank her up?

Almost forgot about the wasp spray and maybe some decon and mouse traps for the rodents.
Hopefully they left the insulation on my wires alone.
