How to get my dad's old pickup running?

Hey everybody!

My dad passed away awhile ago and left me his 1950 Chevy pickup. Due to some familial issues, it has been sitting still for about 10 years. I will be going back home for next week and would like to get it running again if possible.

Can someone please tell me how to do the most basic maintenance to get it running. My cousin might be able to do some simple prep work such as pouring oil into cylinders the day before but it is just as likely that he won't. I will only have one day to work on this. I don't necessarily need to be driving it around. I just want to ensure it is running.

Ten years is a long time for it to be sitting around and I would have taken care of this sooner but family issues have prevented it.

I should say that I am competent with my hands but not mechanically inclined.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
