Longterm Storage- How to do it right?

[dooce]

I will be leaving for Germany to stay at least 2 years next month. I will not be taking one my trucks with me , and it will be placed in storage while I am away. What all should be done to store it properly? I have never had to do this before so I am completely lost on this one. It has a 327 and a 4 spd manual trans. I was told to drain all the fluids, disconnect the battery and pull the wheels/ tires off or jack the truck up on stands to keep weight off the new tires I just bought. If I do need to drain all the fluids, does that mean ALL the fluids? Radiator, motor, p/s, trans, rear diff, brakes, fuel tank? I want the least amount of trouble to get it going once I get back. Thanks again, DOOCE
