Storing my truck over winter. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

No time to get my truck running this year. Here is how it sits now.

Carb off, radiator out. When I unhooked the radiator hoses the engine made a "spooky" sound like rubbing the rim of a glass of water. The engine still has antifreeze in the water jacket, I assume.

I changed the oil and filter but it hasn't run since 2007.

The hood is down, rags are stuffed into the water neck and carb openings, and the truck is in a dry garage.

The gas tank is renewed and still out with all openings sealed. The fuel lines are all disconnected and will be replaced anyway.

The battery is out. Is she OK for the winter that way?
