I know you guys will walk me through any priming issues.

Oh ya, I showed dad a youtube video on oil priming and he walked off saying "you'll end up doing this anyway and then you'll have to get the truck towed to a shop!"
I agree with everything fitz said except I shy away from the breaker bar on the balancer bolt. If the rings are stuck or something else is wrong you'll likely break the bolt and have a much bigger issue on you hands. I suggest a long screw driver on the teeth of the starter ring. They make a tool just for that actually.
