+ save the piece in case you want to reinstall later.

This is what I was suggesting in another thread:
Find a way to relocate your air controls. Mount your head unit in the box for the air controls. No cutting involved. I finally found pictures of an example (I didn't think it was possible before):

That's how my truck is done. It looks clean.

Are the air controls mounted to the radio block off plate or the dash?
I'm assuming the block off plate due no shaft holes in the picture.

i was thinking the same thing. It would be awesome if someone made ac controls with reostat (sp) knobs that fit the factory radio opening kinda like on most newer cars. I know its not possible with the stock ac/heat set up but could be engineered to do so on a aftermarket set up.

I might look into trying it when I get my drivetrain where i want it. gotta try to get power steering in this weekend if the package makes it. trying to get small 3-way gauge cluster for oil, tach and water in the truck too. Trying to find time to go fishing @ Lake Oconee this weekend also. Bass should be hitting the beds pretty soon, great time to chuck plastic worms around the docks
