1972 C-10 - Interior Kick Panels

[PLANETGETLOW]

I'm lookin for a set of kick panels that I could use to put a set of speakers in, anybody have or know where I can get these?

I am pretty sure that LMC sells them, you might also check the vendors on the board, they can usually get just about anything and are great to deal with. Someone else should chime in as well, but a lot of guys also make there own out of wood/fiberglass.

I used a set from custom autosound,
be prepaired to bend the e brake pedal , i heated mine and bent it (take the rubber foot pad off first)
had to adjust the pass side vent vac can.
other than that piece of cake..
my speakers where a little to deep and hold the center out some (can't tell)

I have a set in my truck they sound ok at best but they do the trick it is not like if I could hear it thru the sound of the motor...

I think mine are from LMC

I have similiar ones, they can also be painted to match your interior. Mine sound ok, they came with low qualitly speakers in them, but i've since replaced them with a set of pioneer speakers. Also had to do some cutting to make them fit, but not a big deal to do.

there is a 1/4" hole in the door at the hinge near the light swtch

and a matching one on the cab pillar

I ran mine from the speaker to the oval hole at botton of door trim(behind it) and then to hole near front of door then to hole in the hinge area, I try'd going straight up the inner door but the inner brace is in your way, it can be done but its a pita, and the holes for the way I ran it are already there..
used a piece of coathanger to fish it through the door and pillar

Very nice, pricing is right too

[stich626]

looking at this paint pad fail of a door
if you look at the two dots and the line between them.. this is where I ran the wire to get passed the inner brace. then into the hole on the door and then the pillar
hope this helps

note these holes are behind the door trim.. you'll have to remove the window crank,arm rest and trim panel

I mean from the door to the cab.

mine had holes under the upper hinge a little above the interior light switch in the pillar and the hole in the door lined up.. no idea if it was there stock or added sometime in the 40+ years on the road.

i'll take pic's later it's pouring here now..
and post them.. on the door to pillar
