Outdoor storage suggestions?

Working 12 hours overnight, I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to be able to start anything on my CST anytime in the near future. I have weekends off, but in order to avoid falling asleep behind the wheel come midnight Monday, I've got to sleep days through the weekend. That leaves me about enough time to do the necessary stuff; mow the yard, haul some wood, etcetera.

Once I have a garage, the CST is getting a spot, and then I can really get going on it. Until then, though, fat chance. So the truck is probably going to have to sit up for a few years.

I've already got a big, thick tarp over the whole thing to keep the elements from doing any more damage than they already have over the past 38 years. The tires are all flat and shot, so I'm not too worried about that.

I guess I'd best get the tarp off and check for mice, do something about that before winter. I've actually got two trucks that need to sit up, and both have *very* nice interiors I don't want eaten.

What can I do about moisture? I know the tarp will likely lock it all in, and I obviously don't want the truck rotting. Anybody have any ideas of something I can slide under the truck to let it breathe or soak up the moisture?

I'm open to suggestions. I really don't want either of these trucks rusting while they sit around. I'm actually thinking about repairing and driving the old farmer's truck just to keep that from happening, but the CST isn't going to be moving for a long time.

Thanks ahead of time!
