Try diesel fuel and tranny fluid mix. (worked for me on a flathead years back)

Keep the cylinders wet with a solvent. Leave plugs out so as to not hydro lock. Time is your friend. Put it in gear and rock the truck. When you get it to turn over, change oil before trying to start. Wish you luck.

All of the suggestions above are good, about 30 years ago we has a '52 V8 siezed. My dad soaked the cylinders with something called Power Oil for a couple of weeks and then to finally roll it over we used a John Deere A, back wheel of the tractor into the front bumper of the truck rocking back and forth. It worked and we used the truck for years, in fact we still have it, '52 F5.
