Cruising tunes.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WHYBYNU · 03-11-2025, 05:03 PM

The weather seems to warming up in Arkansas. Hit the road today for a little cruise .Just wondering what everyone is listening to while out on the road. Me personally anything from the 70s 80's classic rock. ZZtop, Van Halen, Ted Nugent, Tesla ect.

**Steeveedee** · 03-11-2025, 05:35 PM

When I was still working, I upgraded the factory radio to one with a USB port and listened to music from my iPod. I have stuff from A Perfect Circle all the way through the alphabet to ZZ Top. Played non-stop around the clock, it needn't repeat for six weeks. None of that "Top 40" programming that repeats a tune within the hour for me.

Don't listen to the radio in the truck (need to get some speakers installed) or the motorhome (since the wife can't agree on a sound level).

WHYBYNU · 03-11-2025, 08:31 PM

This is my high-tech audio system. Sits on the hump connected to my phone it will play louder than I need or want. Sound quality isn't bad for a Bluetooth speaker..

**Steeveedee** · 03-11-2025, 08:37 PM

That looks pretty cool! I have a pass-through from the cab into the bed, if one is limber enough. I have a bunch of 13mm Baltic birch plywood that I was considering making speaker enclosures out of. That project is in cue, but pretty far down.

Chris Rea, "Auberge"
Golden Earring, "Radar Love"
Social Distortion, "Ring of Fire"

I have a whole road trip playlist on Spotify

I'm listening to 330 horses making themselves known through dual 2.5 inch stainless exhaust. One of these days I'm going to find my original AM/FM radio and put it back in.

lil hoodlum · 03-11-2025, 11:59 PM

I have a factory AM radio in my 68 C10, so my only choices are talk radio or Mexican music, so I opt to listen to my motor too.

You'd think there would be at least one country music station on AM.

I like your music selection though.

**Sheepdip** · Yesterday, 12:02 AM

Camshaft and Twice-Pipes is the only music I need.

Blues rock, SRV or sports talk.

I subscribe to Spotify, it creates playlists based on what you prefer.
I do mostly:
70s classic rock
70s easy listening
70s southern rock
70s-80s top hits
80s-90s country
some 60s classics
some classic gospel when I'm feeling righteous

and what Spotify picks for me...

I received these for Christmas. I really like them as it give you a real stereo sound . I use them in the truck and on my deck . I use my phone with Spotify.

**HO455** · Yesterday, 04:22 PM

I listen to both kinds of music in the WMB. Country and Western music. Although occasionally some Bluegrass does work its way into the mix.
Mostly 50's through the 80's played through my Gary Tayman modified factory radio. That my fifty year collection is stored on a single USB drive is amazing.

The flames are nice on the deck after sunset . Don’t use the flame lights in the truck just in music mode.

**Orefactory4x4 swb** · Yesterday, 08:07 PM

Man, any of us know they don’t make music like we listened too.
From country to rock. Some randy Travis to Merle haggard to ac/dc.
I blew the grandkids away to some Boston then a little nugget strangle hold.

They're just lights, right? The speakers would be hanging inside the camper shell. There's no back window. If that's actual fire, it would be a complete no-go.

lol yes it’s a light . I ment I don’t use the flame light setting while I’m driving the truck would be a little distracting at night
