Navigation System Install Suggestions

Hello,

The prior owner of my 64 C-10 has cut the dash to install an Alpine DIN radio. An oversized aluminum sheet has been used to cover any gaps between the radio and the cut dash. I cannot stand the aluminum. It looks tacky and I want to get rid of it.

I am debating replacing the Alpine unit with a Navigation system (i.e., cut the opening even more); or finding a nice black cover that is not oversized that looks neat.

I do not have a problem losing the ash tray since I do not smoke. I am assuming it would have to go since I would think at least a 4 inch high opening would be needed.

If I go the Navigation system route, what is the best tool to use to make the cuts? Would you have enough control using a cutting wheel to make neat cuts?

Eddie
