Do it right 90% of the fluids should be changed out, motor fogged, back off all the rockers, charge the batt and take it out of the truck and store it the right way, put it on jack stand via the frame until at least 50% of the load is off the suspension, put more jack-stands under the diff's, take the tires off it, use garbage bags to cover the diff ends, wash it, wax it, moth ball the interior, use air dryz in the cab, etc.
This is good information! Thanks Merc!

i wouldn't use a normal fuel stabilizer. i would go for ethanol free 91 octane gas and some startron fuel treatment. it is suppose act as a fuel stabilizer plus should also help take care of some of the problem that running ethanol fuel cause.
Not putting it back on the road until it is paid for. Should take 1 year if I follow budget. Well maybe longer cause I'd like to mod it some more and lift it while its off the road so its more affordable.

Welcome to DF, and congrats on new grandkid (they are tons more fun than their parents were... )

You may not have picked up on it yet, but no pics - it did not happen (according to DF!)
