Guy says it ran when he parked it a few years ago he told me it needs the batteries charged and a few other Lil misc stuff I'm new to diesel maintenance and I was wondering what would I need to do to get it to fire up again if I bought it because I don't want to buy it and not know what to do

Diesel is a little more complex than guess. Especially when youre not used to it.

I would be worried about fuel gumming up and clogging up lines and injectors. It would probably require a top end rebuild.

Goodmorning, I would say, put a battery in it and start the truck, then name your price. I´ve been busy with importing a same type of truck from Hacienda Heights Ca, but the grass underneath the truck was dead (so it stood there for a long time) and they wrote it needed "TLC" I decided to buy it not...... A running truck tells you everything.
