Re: Aftermarket radio install
ive got a new sony head unit in my '92 C1500... the OEM cassette deck is history, as well as the computer control unit for the radio... the only thing thats left is the control unit above the defroster controls, but I have gotten a junk one from a wrecked truck, and I'm gonna take a dremel to it, and cut it apart, then cut down a piece of lexan painted to match, and glue that to the back side of it to cover the holes..
I'm hoping i can find an LED clock and gauge to fit in there Trans temp, maybe? I'm not really worried about what kind of gauge just yet, but I miss having a working clock. I'll post pics when i get it done... |

Re: Aftermarket radio install
I don't know when I'll get to it, but a piece of sheet metal or diamond plate would look nice in there. My local parts house has a 2 1/2" tach for $30 that would look nice in there and they also have a LCD clock with an adhesive back. Maybe a couple toggle switches below that. Just in case I ever wanna throw some accessories on later. I've been wanting a tach, but I wanna keep my "moonie" cluster too because it's so darn cool.

Re: Aftermarket radio install
This is food for thought. Ordering a similar set up for a '93. Need the pocket/cubby hole but don't trust the stock gauges.

Re: Aftermarket radio install
I took the radio out and removed all the insides.Peeled off the silver faceplate and cut me a 1/16" thick piece of aluminum the same size as the faceplate "decal".I painted it grey and left it plain for a while.I recently made an Ipod holder and used the plate to mount it on.
