Have a 1956 Ford 860 and want to know the best way to store it for the winter, should I totally drain the gas tank or fill it completly along with a gas stabilizer?

I'm very interested in hearing the opinions this thread will hopefully receive.
I've always been in the add stabilizer and don't worry camp. After rebuilding the float valves on my motorcycle this spring/summer I now wonder. I initially blamed it on ethanol, but now think it may have been rust from the tank.
I have the following options: -
- Shut tank off and run carbs out of gas.
- I also now see that's it's easy to drain the (4) carb bowls, so I'm tempted to store them dry. But, like running it out of gas, is this good?
- Should one fill the gas tank to prohibit rust? (I'm now saying yes! And it will be ethonal free if possible or heavily stabilized)
