Help Identifying lift height
My half-ton is sitting on a 2" lift and 33x12.50-15s if this helps you.- Redfish

What have you done to your square lately??
But they can benefit from a little bit more...my 350 TBI is currently set at 8 degrees BTDC with the magic wire unplugged. I initially set it to 0 when I installed the new distributor but it was so weak... I later bumped it to 4 and it was much better. I was going to try 6 but moved it... -
SM465 X 2.5 gears
I am not sure what exactly you are trying to accomplish with this theoretical gear swap. It doesn't matter what gear ratio you have or how low you drop the RPM, your fuel mileage will not improve to match that of a modern vehicle. You can gear it to turn only 1500 RPM at 55mph but the engine...- Redfish

Extra bulb in dash
I looked this up on a wiring diagram and...yellow with pink/black is for a Water In Fuel warning light. That sounds like something for a 6.2 Diesel to me. On a second diagram it is for a Check Engine light.- Redfish

What have you done to your square lately??
I have been advancing the ignition timing on my TBI 350. The manual says to unplug the magic wire and set the timing at 0 degrees. I did that when I installed the new distributor and have never been satisfied with the power from this motor. I keep replacing old components with some improvement... -
tire/wheel combo for 2.5inch lift
@chevy79_qa I have not replied to this thread yet because my Truck is a 1500 and is running the factory 15 inch rally wheels. But I am running the 2.5 inch Skyjacker front springs...sort of. I pulled them apart and removed the bottom leaf in order to drop the nose just a little bit. I hate...- Redfish

oil pressure switch
There are two oil pressure measuring devices on the '87 TBI 350. The one under the engine, right above the oil filter is the sending unit for the pressure gauge. The second, smaller unit is located under and behind the distributor against the firewall. That one is a switch and is part of the...- Redfish

Cruisin' the Coast 2022
Bay St. Louis: This extremely well done truck was from my home parish. He took a wrecked Ram 2500 and transferred not only the Cummins but the entire interior as well. The truck is incredibly nice. Some superb Square Body coolness: -

Cruisin' the Coast 2022
It's more difficult than I realized because the entire radiator support/nose section is different on the '73/'74. You cannot just put a setback grill from those years on a '75 and later truck, it won't attach. Some pics of Duane's Blazer from a local show last April: -

More Ocean Springs Redfish Jr. doesn't like getting in the picture but I needed him for a size reference here: -
Cruisin' the Coast 2022
It's an exceptional vehicle. Duane took over 7 years to build it and it is extremely well done. The nose is '73/'74 with the setback grill, the rest of it is '78. And yes...it does have an LS motor. -
Cruisin' the Coast 2022
Yes, that is exactly what I originally wanted to do. My '87 is tan with a mahogany interior. That limits my exterior options. Brown or that coppery brown and tan were about all I could do. It doesn't matter anymore anyway. The overwhelming response has been to either not re-paint at all or... -

The next four are some buddies from my home parish, three of them have been included in my pics from local events. -
Cruisin' the Coast 2022
That is Amazing! I was seriously considering that color and scheme for my '87 but (thanks to this forum) I found out it was a 1985 only scheme and didn't think it was right to use it. Thank you for sharing that! -

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
