Blocks are most important as the tires can actually "form" to the static
position they are in if stored for a long time. I'd also remove the battery
from the vehicle and get a good quality cover that breathes. I don't know if
you have to worry about the fuel system with injected/pressurized systems (I
drain the carbs on my bike) but you might want to put some stabilizer in the
tank. There is a lot of exposed rubber on a bike that I treat with armor all
type stuff but I dunno if you need to worry about that with a car/truck. Your
also supposed to drain the oil and replace it after you unwrap your rig but I
don't know exactly why if the oil was fresh when you stored it.
That's all that comes to mind for now.

Well....I couldn't hold out any longer and ordered a 2K R/T this month.
I'm going to miss my V6 sport, it was a great truck and I had alot of
fun with it for the year and a half that I owned it...never had any
problems of any kind so I was abit reluctant to part with it. Anyway,
The R/T is coming abit sooner than I expected (about 2 months too
soon!!)
which is a problem for me since I live in the frozen North (Ontario) and
I hadn't planned on driving it in the winter. I was hoping I wouldn't
have to worry about it until next fall but since the truck will be here
next week it's a problem.
Is putting it up on blocks the best option?...and if it is...what else
should I do as well for proper storage (I've never stored anything
before) Any advise would be great.
