Topic: First gen vents

[84yotated]

What is the purpose of the vents on the outside of the truck on the pillars behind the door frame on first gen pickups? Im wondering if it would be a bad idea to block them off because I am wanting to install speakers on the inside of that pillar.

idk but i cut the vents on the inside of the cab on those and i put 6x9s there and when i turn up my stereo it echos through the vents and it makes the speakers sound hella good

I put my speakers in that spot ! I just put some duct tape on the inside just to keep the moisture out ! My speakers are just above those vents !

ever have your heater set at off and still feel air coming through vents?  it cause the air from outside gets pushed in and the vents allow it to come in and cycle the air.

if you do that and drive around with your windows up you might suffocate!

I didn't say my cab was air tight !! By the time you put different seats in and all the other stuff behind the seat the bottom vents are almost always covered up !! Been this way for years !
