The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Storage

I'm with 69Cuda in needing some education on why you would want to have the truck sit for an extended time on anything other than its suspension/wheels and tires? The only reason I can think of is to prevent flat spots on the tires?

When I deployed to Okinawa for three years, I left my '70 Chevelle in Dad's barn (wood floor). I removed the expensive tires and the Corvette rally wheels (put each one in a large garbage bag and fogged it with tire preservative) and put the car on four old wheels and tires I got from the junk yard. After three years, put the good wheels and tires on and drove the car away (how I set up the engine and tranny for long-term storage is beyond the subject of this thread). No issues from sitting so long with stresses in places other than where they were designed to go.
