Re: Our '68 K20

Classic Autosound makes a head unit that fits the stock opening - complete with a Chevy logo, that will control a cd changer , that you can stash under the seat ---

its pricey compared to budget systems, but if you compare the price against middle to high end systems, and its justified. Plus not having to cut the dash is priceless

Notice there is no hole in the cowl for antenna. It would not seem right to drill it, I am facing the same dilemma on my 69 with radio delete

I can't think of it right now but there is a company that makes a small antenna that will mount under the dash out of site.

Re: Our '68 K20

That's a really sweet truck. If that was my truck that's exactly how I'd restore it mirrors and all.

WELL DONE!

Beautiful work! I am thinking about buying a K model now since my C is mostly done... is that what they call obsessive/complusive? Love your truck!
