73-89 K5 Blazer 2WD a.k.a. CHONG

Post by zztunnell »

This project will be for me.It will progress slowly as Cheech is more of a priority.

Will probably go with new or newer Phoenix gear in this project.

Any suggestions ideas are appreciated.

My biggest question is really to 'WALL' or not to 'WALL' it off.

Nice. I love the 73-90 chevy trucks. Had an 87 for a week (bought it as an engine donor for my 86 caddy FWB.) It was a fun truck and rode pretty good, but was completely toast (the rust belt took a toll on the body...it was rotted up to the door handles and skimmed in 1/4" of bondo over the rot). On the plus side, it ran great and hauled ass. Some day, I want to buy a nicer rust free one.

After looking forever for a 73-78 2wd. I got fed up and found a 89 4wd and my dad and I chopped up it and his 73 c10 2wd and built this Frankenstein.

as for wall or not wall, I always liked the show trucks with the floor of woofers right under the window line in the back :)

I worked at a shop in high school with a lowered K5 Blazer, it was called "Nightmare on your Street". Wall that bitch, we had sixteen 15s in it on 1000 watts of PPI ProMos amps.

Here's an idea.......

I tend to think he has that tuned way high though, because I've been trying to model a similar box in winisd and it's calling for much bigger (and longer) ports.
Being loud without good sound quality is pointless, but having good sound quality without being loud is also pointless.

Sweet truck! I love the K5s. I also love the look of a full 4 seater, so that with the roof off, the rear passengers are out in the air. Still plenty of room behind the seats for a giant box too.
