The only GM brackets I have ever seen are 4X10. I believe that the 6X9 brackets that some of the folks (like gchemist) have are aftermarket. If you find a source for the good 6X9 metal brackets, please let me know. All of the shops I talk to have said they are no longer available.

The new guy with the 4WD black stepside on chevytalk said he was able to mount some shallow 6X9s in the 4X10 brackets by redrilling the holes for the speaker. Woodman from Chevytalk was able to cram some large 6X9 speakers in his old brackets by cutting on them a little and relocating the bottom further out to provide clearance for the magnets. It sounds like he is not getting very good bass out of them because the are hanging free rather than being enclosed, though.
