I reached in and felt a ton of sludge at the bottom.

PS. The truck came with some old Atlas filters. Ok to use or should I get new filters?

Thanks!
Sludge on the bottom of the canister will not effect the draining.
The oil returns via (2) .063 dia. holes in the center stand tube that are located about the same level as the input fitting on the side of the canister.
Make sure the canister return line is clear as well as the (2) holes in center tube.
If the filters you have are new old stock they should be OK to use.
