Driving these old trucks bring back so many memories of California Cruisin' listening to the tunes of the 60's and of course the voice of the "Wolfman". Shows you how old I am, lol. I know a lot you never heard the voice of the "Wolfman" around the midnight hour. Oh, the memories.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
A stock am radio with the stock dash mount speaker adds a lot of character to any old vehicle IMO.
I put a "NOS" Radio Shack FM converter in my '69 Camaro.... Although perhaps you had to grow up in that "era" to truly appreciate what I am trying to say here..... |

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
These trucks were made for work so any speed above 30 mph I lose my AM radio and I just turn it off. They weren't too concerned about road noise on these trucks.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
The main reason I moved my gas tank was to make room for speakers...hellz yes I listen to music.
I respect the point that you make and salute your choice of tunes.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
I saw this thread was moved and wondered where the heck it would have been moved to. I dont recall ever seeing a truck audio section, maybe I had just forgotten? Anyway I like it because Ive been considering actually putting a radio in my truck that works =)
Why I hadnt worried about it before was because my truck made me nervous driving it and I wanted to hear all the little noises it was making just in case something was ready to flip out on me. Been running pretty good lately so maybe its time to put some tunes in that work.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
absolutely... loud too.. comes pretty close to drowning out the exhaust... and that set off car alarms...
loud music is good music.
