Glove box Stereo install ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bc gman · 09-22-2005, 03:33 PM

About 8 -12 months ago there was a thread about installing your stereo into the glove box, can someone let me know the best way to do this ( I think it was installed into the lining of one with the air conditioner style liner ? ) any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have misplaced the info I had previously printed off.

Can"t help you with the thread but I do remember it. I'm right in the middle of installing one myself.

I just used an under the dash mounting bracket and bolted it to some metal braces I made under the glove box.

I may have been the one who posted the one you saw several months ago. I will check my computer at home and see if I still have pics. I no longer have that setup in my truck. Like that pic shows, I cut it in the middle and built a cage to hold the radio. The cage had "L" brackets riveted to it and the cardboard. I then had a piece of ABS plastic covering the cardboard to hide the rivets. I installed a new cd player in my standard glovebox but haven't decided on how I want to box this one in yet.

EROC- where did you get the under dash bracket?

How about doing a write up for the FAQ board for us, that's a good looking setup.

Kelsfine69 Did you make that up yourself that looks great ? That is what I was thinking of doing. did you use anything for a template.?

I work in a tin shop, so I cut and bent it up myself. Its alum, about 1/16 thick. I am going to paint it a spekal paint or crinkle.

70 C10, Crutchfield sells them for like $19.99 or they're free if you buy a new stereo. Eric
