Re: Lks Dcvn: 70 2wd GMC Jimmy Conversion Project

Finally have some tunes in the Jimmy.

Ordered a 4x10 replacement speaker and used the factory brackets to install it under the dash (this is a 1970 model so it goes above the gas pedal (not under the heater controls).

The radio sounds pretty good even though it channels both R/L into one speaker with two tweeters. No real bass though with this setup. Oh well - it's nice to have something to listen to now.

Also got the heater air tubes installed to the defrost vents - another reason why I can see why they changed the speaker set up in later years - what a pain to install with all that stuff.

Ordered a a pair of rear splash shields and a lighter element with wiring.

I'm wondering if I should order/replace the fan high speed relay now before I get the glovebox in there...I don't know how old this one is.
