Kinda depends on how stuck it is. Might as well try pulling it the easy way first (rope to the frame) and see if it moves. 10 years is not very long to sit. If sunk into the ground, maybe just jack it up, fill in the hole and set 'er back down. If you pull hard enough and the axle's really stuck in the ground, you might end up getting the body and frame out without axles. Seized up brakes and jammed tranny or t-case are also a possibility. If it doesn't move easy, figure out why. Have somebody try to pull it while you look under and see what's moving and what's not. Disconnecting the drivelines is not to hard. Wrecker can get one end off the ground so if the brakes are seized up on only one axle, that's the end to lift.

Of course, don't pull on the middle of the front bumper. I've seen way too many trucks with the front bumper wrecked by somebody doing that.
