I am trying to find who did this and how, I wanna do it with a Brothers ashtray/cupholder conversion to make my truck modern with a classic look!

If memory serves me right, I think it is a factory delete plate??? Not sure, but I thought the pic was slammed67's???? I may be way off on this but, just going from what memory I have... someone will remember...

Yea it IS a factory delete plate, I just wanna know how it was hinged and how it closes over the radio.

Yes it was slammed67 who did that, pic was in this thread.

Very fine mod too.

Good luck on trying to get the SECRET out of slammed67 it is a killer mod but he has been pretty tight lipped about how he made it...

Just get the parts and make your own. Maybe you can make up a better design that slammed. It can't be THAT hard. If he put a lot of time a effort into designing it, he may not want to give out the specifics. This way his is more custom then the other guy who just buys off the shelf bolt ons and then calls it custom. Make yours motorized, that would be cool.

Thought about putting a dvd headunit behind mine, but In order for it to clear the faceplate, I would have to set it back a ways into the dash and the screen doesnt look like it would clear the dash pad when it was flipped up. I would like to motorize and remote the whole thing though!

That is an excellent mod. I've thought about the same thing myself. I just installed the ashtray cup holders but if I do a flip down radio delete, I won't be able to use the cup holders at the same time.

Get a delete plate and go to the wreckers and grab some hinges from centre consoles or glovebox doors also look at how / what striker plates are keeping the door / consloe closed and grab them also and go from there, I don't think it would be hard at all.

Gary Lee · 02-26-2005, 07:40 PM

It looks as though one would just have to spot weld/braze the delete plate from the hole in the hinge and clean up the welds... the hard part would be putting a lip to weld it to in the dash under where the radio will go and getting the placement just so...

Slammed67 · 02-27-2005, 01:44 PM

The hard part is getting the plate to sit flush against the dash when it's in the closed position. Not as easy as you'd think.
