Installed a battery tender on the truck so that when winter comes I can just plug her in and not worry about the battery having undo stress from sitting.

Guess I'll add mine to the list here. I been busy all weekend, doing a bunch
of neglected projects. Changed oil in the 81, and disassembled and
repacked the front wheel bearings. None too soon as the drivers side was
in need of a good tightening up. Greased all the fittings also. Not to be a nag,
but if you haven't jacked up your truck for a while, maybe you should.
I found out when I put my Silverado wheels on.

Cleaned her up, loaded up the family, and took her to her first "Cruize-In". Then brought her home and covered her up in her new truck cover.... :love62:

I ain't done squat. My brother currently has the crew cab, the black Burb has a driveline issue (still haven't looked at it) so my wife is driving the blue Burb, I haven't driven the stepside in 2 months and I haven't touched either K5 project since spring. Sucks to be my squares right now.

I hear ya! Love driving mine around even though it looks like it's about to fall apart and I can hear the wind through missing seals. She's solid though...
