space saving ideas
 
has anyone mounted any aux heater units in the rear of the suburban or blazer?

how about hidden speakers in the headliner or elsewhere?

i am looking for some ideas to save space in the back of my suburban.

please post pictures

I was just thinking about asking the same thing about the aux heater, I would like to see what people have come up with.

Initially I was planning to place it begin the left rear quarter panel and now I want to see about placing the spare tire under the body and place the heater in the spake tire location

I like the idea.... I just replaced the heater core in my Blazer. It would be easy to build a box and add a small blower. I would suggest a valve to stop the flow to the back of the truck. How would you run the hose to the back and would you want to insulate it?

you could easily add a 1/4 turn manual pull valve on the dash-kinda like a choke
i plan to run the lines along the frame rail and it could be lightly insulated using home pipe insulation- the primary reason i want the rear heat is for winter defrost

This is an cable operated valve so you dont need anything at the dash but a cable... You can keep the valve down my the frame... You could also run a hard line next to the exhaust... scavance heat that way...

OK... EDIT:: Part # 74661 is a Four Seasons part number as found on www.rockauto.com and was supposedly used on our trucks...

That was my exact thought.
Does anyone out there have some cool interior storage ideas or pics?
