add stabil to the gas tank, disconnect the fuel line and run it out of gas, change the oil, pull the battery, if you can, block it up off the tires, cover it, and add mothballs :)
Ps, I thought trucks were made for the winter....

Where do you live ? are you East Coast ? heavy snow ?
1. Drain oil.
2. Install new oil filter DO NOT add oil.
3. Disconnect Battery Negative Cable ONLY
4. make sure you have a 60/40 coolant mixture for winter.
5. Drop the air pressure of the tires to 25 psi.
6. Fuel should be drained to 1/4 tank if longer then 1 months storage , if less then do 1/2 tank and when you are ready to start it - make sure you add a FUEL additive in the tank before you fill it up.

The best way to store any vehicle for the winter is in a HEATED area, garage, or underground parking. It's also a good idea to start the vehicle up once a week up to operating temperature, and drive it a couple of miles, to keep parts from rusting out.

I have parked many cars over the winter. I found just to start them every week or so works and is a lot easier than shooting oil down the cylinders, and all that
