Long term storage?

Some things are switching up with the job and I'll probably be getting orders cut to go to 4th brigade of the 3rd Infantry Divison, a unit that deploys to Iraq at the end of July for at least 15 months. This will be my first deployment...

I was just wondering if anyone here has stored their truck for a long time. I've heard of things like disconnect the battery, put fuel stabilizer in, take off the wheels, and keep it on jack stands...

My other idea was to store it in my dad's garage and his payment be 50-100 miles a month on the truck so as to keep everything "fresh" and "alive" in the truck's internals. I know he loves the ol' truck... so he might be interested.

I know July is a long way off, but I'd like to start getting things lined up well in advance... any advice on what the best course of action is?

PS - Hoping to make the May show in Maggie Valley, NC, as kind of a last hurrah!
