Cruisin' the Coast 2022
Still in Ocean Springs: While it's not a Square Body this was a Very Well Done Truck. Of course the LS badges on the fenders tell everyone the most important thing. -

Cruisin' the Coast 2022
Yes sir it does. Thank you for saying that. It takes a lot of time and effort to actually get the pics in the first place. I used to do this for my Ride Reports on my motorcycle forums but those subforums got a lot more attention than this Events thread. Not much traffic in this area. I had... -
The loud crack of the turn signal
I am probably too fixated on re-living the '70s and '80s with my Old Truck but that loud, snapping "Click" and the feeling that the turn signal stalk is bending every time I put on my blinker is part of The Experience. In 1977 I remember hearing Dad's brand new Sierra Grande turn signal click... -
Having problems with blinker
If it works with the incandescent your LEDs may be going bad. My advice would be to replace the old LEDs or go back with incandescents. If you haven't done it, install the Sylvania LED resistor kit. It makes a big difference.- Redfish

Stumped, fender marker/turn light issue
The use of LEDs for blinkers gets a bit complicated. It can be done reliably but it takes some doing. I have had very poor results with "LED Flashers". Let's explain how the flasher works. Current flow through the flasher generates heat. Heat causes a bimetallic strip to bend and the...- Redfish

33X12.5X15 Mud Terrain Tires
True but I had other requirements. I had to run an "American" brand on my GMC. I like the Toyo, I run them on my '19 Duramax but bring myself to run them on my Old School truck. The Thornbirds simply look ridiculous to me, they did not fit the "look" of a 1987 era truck. The Coopers were a...- Redfish

33X12.5X15 Mud Terrain Tires
Most of the tire hum/singing/noise comes from the side lugs and very few modern mud tires have side lugs sticking out past the carcass. The Buckshot Mudders and Super Swampers of my youth had large side lugs and made a LOT of noise on the road. They pulled really well in the mud, which was...- Redfish

Another superb working man's truck that looked like something @SirRobyn0 could put to work: -
Cruisin' the Coast 2022
Pascagoula Beach Park While we were there someone must have ordered an entire case of Freedom. This Arleigh Burke class destroyer came cruising into the nearby Ingalls Ship Yard and completely diverted my attention. These things move pretty quickly, supposedly over 35mph. -

Pascagoula Beach Park: This really well done white blazer had some very special leaf springs. The rear leaf, yes singular, leaf was composite. I asked for and received permission to crawl under the truck to take a couple pics. -

Cruisin' the Coast 2022
This very nice 3/4 ton was on the beach road. I immediately thought about @SirRobyn0 when I saw it, took the pic while we were moving in opposite directions. Caught this one on the beach road as well. Pascagoula Beach Park: The two brothers we met the day before: -

Bay St. Louis: This excellent truck really caught my attention. Brother-in-law and I talked to this guy and his brother who had almost the same truck for about 30 minutes. -
Cruisin' the Coast 2022
When I think of a "keeper" I naturally think of a fish that is big enough to keep. BigUn (Mrs. Redfish) is definitely a "keeper" if we use size standards! No, she likes to talk so much that she cannot stay quiet even when she is mad at me. I always get jealous when I hear guys talk about... -
Cruisin' the Coast 2022
This old warhorse really impressed me. I spoke to the owner(s) and they assured me that the old 6.2 was still in there. There was a diesel tank in the bed and the truck obviously sees regular farm use. I LOVE seeing these old trucks still working, still earning their keep. @SirRobyn0 I... -
Cruisin' the Coast 2022
This board shows how many vehicles from each state and the total # registered. The total eventually reached 9618. I will leave you folks to judge this price... I thought this one was super clean, I love seeing one that still looks original. -

Cruisin' the Coast 2022
This event is so spread out and covers so many miles that it is impossible to see it all. I found it interesting that some of the vehicles that I liked the best would turn up at whatever town I was in each day. I would see the same vehicles at several different locations with no particular... -
Cruisin' the Coast 2022
This was possibly the best Square Body Engine Swap I have ever seen. Why go with an LS when you can put a 6.6 Duramax? This truck was superb in every detail. -

The journey begins: Yes, it is squatted because there is a LOT of weight in the back! The Sunday morning block party in Gulfport. Yes, they shut down the entire downtown area for this.
