Has anyone used or installed the "new" original radio like AAR sells for our trucks? If so I would like to see the install on how it is mounted and hooked up as it doesn't use the original radio plug or power wire.

sub'd

really neat but pretty expensive. A side by side in performance to the retrosound would be nice although aesthetically this one takes the cake

I'll cut the dash and put a nice single din in with speakers and a amp for that kind of money! I had a stereo shop do my 56 Bel Air and that was counting labor for that kind of money. They even cut the rear speakers in for that.

I like to keep everything as close to stock as I can and try to preserve what's left of these old trucks

That's why I have something like this (not this one, I don't think, a couple of hundred less but it looks the same with no bluetooth, etc). It looks totally original and a good working FM radio is pretty hard to find!

I'm only 30 years old and I would give anything to be able to go back into time and see how all these older vehicles were back then. I learned to keep it simple with an old car build and learned a lot from Jerry Brown of The Truck Shop in Crossville,TN. He and Jason have practically helped me build my truck and have showed me stuff through the years. That's why I pay the $$$ that I pay for some parts I have on my truck. Sorry for the rant just had to get it out no disrespect. Anyone else have any info on the above radio?
