5 years parked... pull the plugs and turn the motor over by hand, if it goes no proplem, then squirt a little motor oil in each hole and screw the sparklers back in. Dump 5 gallons of fresh hi-test gassoline in the tank, and maybe a bottle of water remover too. Toss in a battery and see if she;ll fire. Look for fuel leaks as soon as it fires up. Check the brakes before pulling out of the driveway.
Once it is home, take everything apart that you feel you need to take apart.

truck #2... if it runs and is complete... JUMP on it.

IIR the Buick 430's had high compression - 10.25 to 1 - at the end. The 455's had lower compression and came during the first gas crunch of the early 70's. The 430 is more desireable IMO. Follow what Andy said and go for it.
