Didn't read all the replies so what I say may have already been said: If the truck is not to be started every few months, after running most of the gas out of it, fill the tank with aviation gas. It doesn't deteriorate like regular gas does.Don't park the tires on a dirt floor. Use some wood blocks under the tires. Spray the tires every six months with silicone spray to keep the rubber in good condition(excludes ozone). Silicone oil is nothing more than liquid glass beads and it takes 6 months for it to run off. Just spray the tops of the tires after about the first 3 months. If rodents could be a problem, keep a few mothballs in the cab. Yes, they will smell, but that is better than mouse urine. Keep an open box of baking soda or some charcoal in the cab to absorb the stale air if mothballs are not used.Keep the whole truck covered and out of the sunlight that could fade the interior.There is a thing called closet fume fade in the clothing industry, so some occasional airing out is a good thing too.
