GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project~”

[Grizz1963]

My day off on Monday netted me quite a lot of miles in the Blazer.

After adding another 20liters of fossil fuel to its belly, we were off.



It was the first time I have driven it enthusiastically since working over the front and rear suspensions with fresh parts.


CONCLUSION......??

This truck now really handles well for the behemoth it is.

Entering and exiting roundabouts with confidence inspiring ease, I found myself grinning and speaking to it while cautiously pushing it harder and harder.
On the open road at 60-70 miles per hour the steering is dead still and true when let alone.

Eventually got home around 3.00pm and reversed it to the garage, then walked over to fetch Prozac back.

Noticed the DIY front spoiler, nice n low.



Got indoors and found an envelope from Gulfport Mississippi. Postage, again as always, eye watering.

Thanks to Bill Palfreyman for the Antique Truck plate, never seen one before.

But even better...... was the repair sections for the Blazers dash radio surround that’s been butchered at some point before.

I will address this when the weather is more dry.




And a photo from a friend.

Nope,

I don’t know either.


Captions welcome.

Right guys,

Time to test your combined opinions, knowledge and advice.

The Blazer only has two speakers in the doors.

I however, have in my stash some random stuff, speakers, Subwoofers and who knows what else.

So when the Radio/CD/Memory stick plays tunes, they are fine for just listening to.

So tonight when I got in from work and after feeding the starving cat, I went down to the garage to dig these out

Question is, do I connect the JVC sub box and have it under the dash, resting on the hump, or do I build a sub box in a vintage suitcase and mount it behind the rear seat for the big speaker, which may need an amplifier??

These are what I have .

Speaker. No idea about specification







And specification.




Thank you for taking the time to reply, if you do.

Hi Rick,

More in a bit.
