Glovebox/CD player Installed *Pics*
Well not many commented on the glovebox I had made. I am very happy with the way the box turned out. Here are some pictures of everything installed. It wasnt as cheap as just cutting a hole in the dash but in 30 mins I could have the truck back to stock
![]() P.S. Yes, I know I forgot to connect the drivers side vent hose back up. While I had everything torn out I cleaned and wiped down all the duct and the inside of the unit that hangs down below the dash. |

Super clean install man! Looks great. Improvement without defacing the OldSkoolness of these fine machines.

Very nice. Does it have a remote or do you have real long arms (like me)?

That was one of the requirements of the cd player. I bought one with a remote.

Looks very nice, I'm going the same route (glovebox), just waiting for the head unit to arrive in the mail. I still am undecided on where the speakers are going though.

You stole my idea! I've wanted to do that along with put a bunch of extra guages, torque converter lockup control, data aquisition link (way down the road). What did you make that box out of? Did the radio have clearance problems with A/C box? Same as you again I want to put the speakers down on the floor so I don't cut up the cab. I'd like to see some pics if/when you get started on that.

man that looks good super clean!! any reason you chose right hand corner of glove box? most of the ones i've seen are in the middle. are you going to mount any thing else next to it? do you have any pictures of speaker bracket you made.

I was actually looking this evening and I might attempt to make a bracket that is slighty below and setback from the face of the dash, that would hold (2) 6 1/2 speakers. I like making things out of wood! hah, my grandpa was a woodshop teacher for years and years. He has an airconditioned wood working shop that is about the size of my house. |

I still need to get the speakers, I'm looking at Pioneer's TS-D601P (6.5") & TS-D901P (6X9). How did you install the wood bracket for the 4" Alpines? Did you use the 2 factory bolt holes for the original speaker bracket and brace them in another spot also? The box idea (on the floor) is a good one. I've thought about installing 2 6.5" in the kick panels & 2 6 x 9's in the doors using baffles and dynamat but I gotta admit I'm pretty "chicken" about getting the jigsaw out (lol), I may go with pods (kickpanel)for the 6.5's and the box idea for the 6X9's (using fibreglass).

Do you think the radio would fit in the top left corner instead of the bottom right? I had my plans with gauges lined across the bottom and radio uptop for looks. Just curious.

I've never seen a a/c equipped truck's glove box to know how limited they are in size. Your setup looks real nice. Is there extra space that could be used to hold cd's in the glove box if the box you made was modified.

Nice install. I did the same to mine. Keep us posted on the IR repeater thing. Also, I found I had to install a little fan in the glovebox to keep the unit cool. I put an antennea splitter on so i could run cd receiver and stock am radio off same antennea.

Overall the glovebox width is around 18 1/2". On an A/C truck the A/C riser eats up 7 inches from the drivers side of the glovebox towards the middle. That leaves you around 11" to work with. I dont know exact measurements from the top of the glovebox to the firewall but I would guess its around 5". My cd player is 6 1/2" deep so it would have no chance to fir in the top left corner. Maybe if you removed your glovebox door and built the glovebox more shallow than mine which was 2 1/2" you might be able to fit a cd player in the top left of a non-a/c cab. More than likely the cd player would have to stick out a little past the front of the dash to fit. |

Very smooth! Now you just have to take the remote receiver out of the face plate and
mount it down below so you can keep the door shut! J/K Good job. |
