Thanks

I'd be tempted to place it on jackstands to avoid the tires 'flatspotting' Maybe open the cowl vent a tad, just to allow some air circulation. I wouldn't open any windows in case some critters get in! Jock

I plan on using jack stands. I was wondering about the engine, gaskets etc drying out. I had a cover for the truck.

put a 1/4 of gas in a dish outside and watch it for a couple days.
HUMMMMMMmmmmmmm.......

These seem to do a good job of keeping the unwanted squatters out.
