Cruisin the Coast 2024
I hope to get a few questions about this Truck... I thought @bucket and a few others might like this one. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Yes sir. And I should not have said "recently", it was almost exactly one year ago. I had the car, getting it ready for Cruisin the Coast and suddenly I had anti-freeze pooling on my concrete. A couple shots of The Trans Am for this year's Cruisin the Coast: -
What have you done to your square lately??
I am agreeing with @Radiohead. I recently fought this little battle with a '79 Trans Am. The day before we were supposed to take it on a 9 day trip. I bought a cheap hand pump from Harbor Freight. I mean ridiculously cheap. It is Awesome. I love it. I pumped the radiator dry, dropping the... -

@JamesSam Is that the drain petcock? If that is your leak point...that is an easy fix. -
Wheel Opening Moldings
That is exactly how they came from the factory. The plain chrome ones were aftermarket. I ordered a full set from LMC and they were surprisingly almost an exact match for the OE set I took off.- Redfish

Mud Tires
To answer your question, No. No I don't. I installed them on The Truck a couple of years ago. A Ram Dually probably has that heavy Cummins and they naturally eat tires. My personal experience with them is that no tire will last very long. Hell, my '19 2500HD Duramax goes through tires...- Redfish

FYI...I don't know you but I think you are cool as hell. If I were your age and driving that truck in the area it looks like you live in, I would absolutely rock that plate. You are only young once. Go Do Epic S**t.- Redfish

Mud Tires
It's great to see a High School age driver of a vintage truck. I probably wouldn't display your front license plate...but I graduated high school in a different century. This probably isn't exactly what you are looking for but I am running Cooper Discoverer STT Pros on my '87. My factory...- Redfish

What have you done to your square lately??
I have been corresponding with a fellow named Brian Harris. I finally got a Stage 1 Chip for my 1987's computer. First Impression is WONDERFUL! First step was unplugging the Magic Wire and setting the timing to 0 degrees, the original factory spec. Next, I got the glove box to open all... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I drove it back and forth across the Mississippi Gulf Coast for a week. Lots of pics in the "Events" section of this forum in my Cruisin the Coast 2024 thread. -
Cruisin the Coast 2024
Does anyone remember that Ford built a 4 door version of the Thunderbird? My son and my brother-in-law examining the vehicles: BigUn decided that this Jimmy was too tall for a Big Girl to climb into... This young lady and her truck were both...nice. You can see the reaction of the... -
Cruisin the Coast 2024
If it was the same group we saw the Jeep was brown and not white. And Daisy was not present... We were in Ocean Springs on Friday as well but we did not park inside the barricaded area. A friend has a house rented each year just off Government Street and we parked in his front yard. -
Cruisin the Coast 2024
Sunday morning Gulfport is The Place to Be so we had a quick breakfast and headed over. We found parking for The Truck and The Trans Am and went exploring. Brother-in-law and BigUn will be showing up in some of the pics. I apologize for them blocking the view. -
Cruisin the Coast 2024
Well, I just got home about an hour ago and I am wiped out. The Truck did great. A lot of time spent idling with the AC going and very little forward movement and the temp gauge never gets above its normal spot. As usual I saw some truly wonderful vehicles, met some truly wonderful folks and... -
Cruisin the Coast 2024
About to leave for The Mississippi Gulf Coast... A road trip is a lot easier to pack for in a modern crew cab truck. -
Workin truck
I like the way it looks. And that old Ford looks pretty tough also... You have a pic of that one?- Redfish

Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.
My memory of those trucks seems to be different from most of you. The 2wd square bodies were usually pretty smooth riding. I cannot remember how many times in the '80s I heard someone say, "This truck rides like a car!" Of course the top of the line trucks came with white wall "car" tires...- Redfish

What could this random tube attached to the exhaust be?
It almost looks like a poorly fabricated heat riser. The truck originally had a heat riser that ran from the exhaust manifold straight up to the neck of the air intake duct of the air cleaner. Maybe the Previous Owner was trying to recreate that?- Redfish
