71 Chevy C10 Radio Advice

You could still mount it. The side mounts are vary adjustable. Maybe ditch the stock bezel and make one that fits your dash.

ugh! it's always something - first the doors are 1972 doors on this 70 c10 and now the dash is different - did I say UGH!!

ok cool - guess I will have to make something or maybe just cut the faceplate/bezel thing they sent.

thanks for all your help zellway!!

I put in the Custom Autosound AM/FM ipod Stereo. Has a good sound. Looks factory. I put two 4 inch Kenwoods in the dash. Two 3-way Kenwood 6.5 in the kickpanels and two 6.5 Kenwood Excelerons in the back and one 10 inch Kenwood Exceleron sub running off a Kenwood Exceleron 900 watt Amp. Very nice sound and all pretty much stock looking. I had relocated the tank so, the extra space was nice.

Will all that clear the stock seat? I have been looking into some different ideas for my short bed. I have the tank out back and want to use the space up with some type of box. I like the setup you have. Using the bolt holes from the tank give is a clean look.

Fits real nice. I have had the seat in to test fit it and that Kenwood Exceleron subn really does a nice job.

I used 1/2 MDF covered with headliner material to mount everything to it and as you noticed utilized the stock tank holes to keep it stable.

How are you guys installing 2 4" in the dash? Can you show me a picture? Also the PO of my truck has the stereo wired but it has no memory and clock is always reset. Do you know what wire I need to change? I am thinking maybe the stock wiring and radio wouldn't have that wire because it wasn't needed. Thanks
