Contrary to popular belief the worst thing to do would be to try and start them. I expect there will be corrosion damage to journals, shafts and surfaces in a lot of places and oilways blocked with dried up oil sludge and grease. The gearboxes and differentials will benefit most from being emptied of old acidic oil before it does any more damage. A dozen cans of WD40 would also be good too for damage limitation.
It would also be better to have stands that support the
chassis', not the axles, which would take the weight off the leaf springs. They've earnt a rest.
