Great radio option I came across. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I posted this in my build thread, and got a question about it, so I figure I'd share it on the main board.

Basically it's an in dash radio that has the old school knobs so you don't have to cut the dash. The good news is that it has a usb port to plug in an ipod or other MP3 players as well as RCA outs for an amp.

So I think I'll go with this.
BTW, it's $279 in their catalog plus a free faceplate to match your car.

Please give us your impressions of it after you install it. Actually an installation "How-To" with pictures would nice as well.

I am seriously thinking about getting one. Especially for the usb option!

I did an email to Crutchfield about these radios and was told that they didn't have an application for our trucks. Yesterday, on the board, there was a post showing an application specifically for our trucks. Yes, it's the same company. Glad to know that we can get one but sorry Crutchfield isn't the vendor. I've had good results in dealing with them.
