powerwash or steam clean it...
You probably wont have access to a steam cleaner, so bring the truck down to the local self car wash...
Be aware that many of the places don't particularly like you washing tons of mud or grease off your truck, so you may need to do it on the downlow..
Take a couple containers of a spraycleaner and thoroughly douche the bottom of the truck.. let it sit for 10 minutes or so, then blast away...
As for cleaner, you'll get tons of opinions on that.. I'm sure lots are going to chime in about Purple Power, Simple Green (imo, that sh*t sucks), etc, but I swear by Spray Nine and also their Degreaser version
And trust me, degreasing jobs in boats put any vehicle to shame...

What ryoken said but use easy off oven cleaner and let sit for 10 minutes then power wash off. I haven't found anything that works better. 
I was a little leary of suggesting that to a novice, with it's paint stripping capabilities......
I personally plan on investing stock in Easy Off -- I buy so much of it, I'd midaswell take part ownership, lol
That stuff works incredible, just make sure you keep it off chrome stuff, and be aware that it does eat at aluminum.

It's what we use to take painted names off boats...

I just buy a couple gallons of Purple Power (or the 5 gallon jug when it's on sale) and pour it in a pump up weed sprayer from Home Depot and go to town. Saves your hand from squeezing the trigger so much.
