Better Heater fan/squirral cage? Rear heat for blazer/Subs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there a better more volume fan shroud for the heaters? I want to make a custom center counsle that routes heater/A/C ducts to blow on rear passangers. And need more volume. Any ideas?

I had the same idea. Not yet to that point on the blazer though. My dad has a VintageAir unit on his 71 truck and it has more volume than my wifes 97 Ponitiac GTP. Only problem is it is LOUD!! This is on a non-A/C truck. I bought a center console from a 99 and up extended cab truck for my Blazer. It has A/C vents built into the back for the rear passangers. On a high hump, these consoles fit perfectly. Before I tore the Blazer down for the frame-off, I test fitted the console. It will be awhile before I get to the interior, as the blazer is in a million pieces in the garage.

Later,
Chad

What about one out of an 85 BMW 528e? It is mounted in the center console right behind and below the heater controls. German quality! Hey wait! I have one! I can get some pictures for you in a week or two ...

Just an idea, but my 93 suburban has an addition fan/squirrel cage in its rear unit. Maybe rigging up an addition fan would suit your needs.

All good ideas. But if I rigged another fan in the rear wouldn't I need another heater core? I really would like to keep all the big stuff under the dash and just route ducting.
