Re: Sad day.....
If you can't touch it for a while, I would drain the coolant and oil.
Blow some air into the heater pipe to blow out all sitting coolant, pull all the spark plugs and then turn the engine over a couple times to blow out any coolant that could be in one or more of the cylinders. Once that's done, spray a bunch of WD-40 into each spark plug hole. Finally put a note on your dash warning you that there is no oil/coolant in your engine, since the truck will be sitting for a while you don't want to forget and fire it up with nothing in it. This is what I would do, since standing water in the cylinder will rust and cause damage to the cylinder wall and rings. Plus if there is coolant in the pan, you want to get it out and not let condensation build up causing more problems.
