Radio project
Many years ago, probably around 96, I started on a project to install the electronics from a late model radio into an oem '57 housing. It took me a long time to finish up and when I got done something didn't work so I put it in a box for later. It's later.
This uses a stock head unit from a '98 Suburban as the donor. All of the original functions still work. And if for some reason I wanted to put an OE CD player under the dash, I could connect it to the head unit and it would operate properly. I realize this project isn't for most people. I did it for the challenge, and because I wanted to finish what I started. I Plan to use an original speaker grill over the mirror with two small speakers in it. There are some pretty neat under seat speakers that are self-contained that might sound good. I'm also considering building fuel tank cover speaker box, and storage tray behind the seat. I really excited about this and I can't wait to get it installed in the truck to see what it looks like. Last edited by Rickysnickers; 07-07-2024 at 10:06 AM. |
