Hey everybody. In the garage we have my moms grand prix, and the benz... In the shed we have the honda shadow (ace 1100)... Theres some room in the shed, but not enough...

I need to store a 82 f150 outside... I know its not a benz, and the things hardly show quality... but we just replaced a bunch of brake parts (mainly the lines,wheel cylinders, and the proportioning valve... what a pain in the butt.....)
Anyways the reason most of them failed was because of rust (AND... I expect to do the friggin hard fuel lines soon)... The truck is at my grampas house, and its stored on 1 1'2 in thick red tiles, with less than 1/32 between them. The tiles are in good shape, and not cracked. Theyre located between the main driveway, and the lawn at his house... I really dont know how to store something outside, but this is snow country...

What should I do to store this thing outside? I have a concreate driveway, and a big grass lawn... I was told that a pea gravel pit (big enough to drive/park on) would be a good thing to put a car on...
Whats a good thing to store a vehical on, and how should I prepair the vehical (other than fluids & related)

Thanks alot, I REALLY appreciate it
~Nate

tile seems fine. if it is going to be there a very long time you might want to put blocks under the vehicle to take the weight off the tires.

otherwise you are on the right track.

I guess I wasnt so clear as to where the tiles are. They're at my grampas house, and this is still his truck. The plan that we've been talking about is letting me drive it for a while after I get my lisance to see if i like it, and then sign the title over to my mom if I do... At our house the choices to park are; concrete driveway, grass lawn, or something else that I build

If either of the choices are great, then let me know which one... If not, I can make something on the end of our driveway, or in our large sideyard (which is right off the driveway.

Thanks alot
