Well, I was able to get back to Michigan and check out the truck. I ended up putting the hoses back on and closing the petcocks. Filled it up with pre-mixed Prestone. Looks like i have a small leak from the water pump which needed a rebuild prior to storage. I took the starter and generator off for rebuild. I'm hoping they can rebuild the original generator that was on the truck because its an industrial generator and just want to drive the truck and not have to rewire it right away. Thanks again for all the help.
