Letting my truck sit for 6 months over winter
Is that going to kill the tires? Unfortunately I won't be about to move it periodically. Putting it up on blocks is not an option. FWIW it gets very cold where I live and the tires are M+S rated. ...

Used to do this with my diesel truck. Don't run it for a "few minutes" periodically. Worst thing you can do.
Fresh oil change.
Fill the tires to their max rating.
Fill the fuel tank to prevent condensation (I also used a stabilizer).
Charge and disconnect the batteries. Or use a good battery tender.
Cover as you see fit (I just put the window shade up).
Come spring, check the tire pressure, check fluids, make sure the batteries are charged and then plan to go for a good drive. You want to get the motor heat soaked to remove any moisture buildup from over the winter.
