Got mine a couple of weeks ago. Great fast shipping. Just got them painted yesterday, letting them cure for a couple of days. Painted blue, Dupli color Dark Blue Met (28 WA8264)

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

I love that blue! Thanks for the feedback, please post pics when you have them installed.

I will be using the focal 165AS in the rear.Their spec sheet says 140mm which roughly translates to 5.6". Which, if either would work for me?

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

The two sizes I have are 5-7/8” and 6.5”. I’d buy the smaller ones, you should be fine. If that works, just send the funds to www.73-87.com

Payment sent for 5.875" pair

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

Your inbox I sent full, please clear it out and either send me a message, or text me at 612-558-1666

I was wrong on my opening sizes, I have 5-1/4" and 6" ( I was in DC for work and was going off memory)

I researched your speakers, the mounting diameter is right at 6", so you would need to buy the smaller 5.25" and enlarge to 5-9/16"

Again, PM or text so we can coordinate this.

Hi Jeff
Just wondering how much room there is between the shelf below the bracket,and the base of the bracket?
My dilemma is, I have the original cardboard tray and I'm trying to see from the pics if there's enough room for both.
The tray side is about 3" tall.
I may need to do some trimming?!
Thanks in advance
Conrad

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

Hi Conrad, I’ll get you a measurement tonight. I do believe you will need to do some minor trimming to make the tray fit.

I'm going to give a shout out every chance I get for these brackets! I no longer own my Square, but these brackets are first class and fit perfectly. Plus, you're supporting a board member/vendor!

I ordered a set. Thanks!

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

Jeff, my 1977 C10 does have one of the seat belt retractors mounted to the pillar. The main retractor is mounted to the floor. You have said the early 3-point type seatbelts won't work with your brackets. Have you heard of a work-around for these speaker brackets to work with this seat belt set-up?

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

That mid mount retractor screws everything up. It’s actually a terrible design, and why GM ran them less than a full year. Ditch them for the 77/78 and up floor mount belts. They work much better, and will work with the brackets.

Thank you! Brackets will be in today's mail.

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

Received the brackets on Thursday. They look great and well made. I used to work in the sheet metal fabrication industry, so I know good work when I see it!

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! Good luck on your install!

Yes sir, haven’t raised my price since I started...11 years and counting! However, considering it...steel prices are thru the roof!

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

Thank god you don't make them out of plywood...

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

Well, not building stagecoaches here lol 🤣

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

Hahahaha, I was commenting from your remark about the cost of metals, a 4x8 sheet of plywood that was $44 in Feb is now $64 here. And I thought the $44 was outrageous.

Now I'm thinking about a squarebody-esque stagecoach, thank you for that. :lol:

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

Finally installed speakers with these brackets. I bought the brackets in Dec 2015! I had the brackets painted when the truck was painted a few years ago. Had to modify the new package tray to fit the brackets. Applied dynamat and closed cell foam on the sheetmetal behind the speakers. Installed a Retrosound radio at the same time. Sounds and looks good! Plan to replace/add a new speaker in the dash center to provide front sound.

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series
 

They look great, I like the color and integration with the package tray. Nice work and thanks for the feedback!

FYI www.73-87chevytrucks.com have the best speaker kick panels on the market should you go that route.
