I've got a 76 c10 which is pretty bad ass cuz it's all custom and I want to put one of those pioneer indash tv radios u know the 7inch touch screens that cost 450 but I don't know where to put it. I have a alpine cassete player buy it's almost on the floor. Please help me find a place to put post pics if you find a good spot

do you have a stock dash bezel?

move the heater controls down to the radio spot and remove the a/c vent/ now there is enough room to install the large screen in the old raio hole and up.

why is your tape deck almost on te floor and not in the dash?

Silverray76 · 11-15-2009, 04:17 AM

It's cuz my dad didn't want to rip the old radio out he wanted to keep it orginal an my alpine dosent have the knobs so he put it on the floor plus u can't see it on the floor if robbed i want to put the indash in but don't want to cut out or pull things

well you can either build a center console on the hump or ball up and cut the dash to make it look right.

granted, it will take a lot to make it look right no matter how you do it. but if you do a hack or crappy job its going to stand out to everyone.

go to the junk yard and scalp a couple of dash bezels and practice.

You could put it in the glove box but that kind of defeats the purpose...

A small center console is probably your best bet.

Silverray76 · 11-15-2009, 11:55 AM

Well I don't have a console cuz I have bench seats and puttin the indash in the glove box was my first choice but it dose defeat the purpose but it's not a bad idea I just want to put it were I can mess with it I'll post pics of my interior today

*2tons of fun* · 11-15-2009, 10:51 PM

that why i said build a console.

put it on the hump facing up and tilted slightly towards you.

Silverray76 · 11-16-2009, 02:14 AM

But I always have 3 people in my truck which sucks so the console is a no go great idea though

*2tons of fun* · 11-16-2009, 10:53 AM

Is your stereo a double din like mine pictured above or a single din - 1.5 din stereo with a pop out/flip up screen? You can always open up the dash pad right above the ash tray and install it right were the center a.c. duct is at.

Silverray76 · 11-23-2009, 04:36 AM

It's like yours but I have interior that I can't rip up I'll post pics soon it will be easier to give advice once you see how it looks

Silverray76 · 11-26-2009, 01:14 AM
