If your truck is on stands with the wheels off the ground, it is quite normal for the wheels to turn with the engine running and the trans in any gear besides park, even at a low idle speed. It needs the resistance of the weight of the vehicle with the wheels on the ground to prevent turning. Just be sure to use the brakes to stop the wheels from turning before putting the trans back in park. You'll have loud grinding from the park pawl and may take a chance on breaking it if you don't.
