Re: radio question

most of the retro style radios are of poor quality and WAY over priced...I also cut the dash and put in an alpine...it looks good and I have easy access to it.

if you don't want to go that route, you can mount a quality stereo in your glove box and leave a stock radio in its intended spot or you can put in a radio delete cover over the stock holes....

Re: radio question

retro sound is a quality radio. I put one in my 50 model gmc. It is not a retro style radio either. it is a modern unit with ipod and usb connections. It doenst have the tape deck like the custom auto sound units do. go to www.retrosound.com. I am very pleased with my purchase.
