Thanks everyone who answered. Especially NumberDummy, your post (and BTW this thread) gave me just what I was looking for.
Now I have to pull out the steering wheel somehow... Anybody ever had a success improvising?

Alot of times if you dont have a puller you can loosen the nut and brace yourself in the truck putting pressure on the wheel with your legs and hit the nut with a hammer and the wheel will loosen up enough to remove. The nut on the wheel NOT any other nuts!

Greetings everyone.
Didn't want to start a whole new thread for maybe a very stupid question.
I have to put my truck to storage. Don't know for how long currently.
From my previous experience with classic cars I know one of the best things to do is to put them on some kind of stands to unload the suspension and tires. However, those were all unibody/front subframe cars. Now I'm baffled with Twin-I-Beam suspension (the original sticker with jacking instructions on glove compartment door is badly damaged) and in doubts about the rear axle. What are the best points for "long-term storage jacking" in this particular model? Should I put rear stands under leaf springs or frame and how to jack a Twin-I-Beam front end properly?

Here is a picture of the jacking instruction decal. You can place the jack stands in the same positions.
