Rear Spring Memory
I am moving and have my 65 f100 stored with a 300-6 engine and some other parts in the bed. I figure there is about 700 lbs back there. Do you guys think that much weight sitting in there for maybe 2-3 months will squash out my rear springs? Or should I take the precaution of putting some jack stands under the frame to relieve the springs?

What condition are the springs in now? 50 years and rode hard? It's best to keep weight out of the bed if possible though. Dad drove a delivery truck eons ago and remember him remarking once that the owner wouldn't allow anything in the beds of the fleet overnight or stored in them, when this subject came up, FWIW.
