Cab Corner Speakers - 76-77 ???

[72malibu]

The 76-77 model has seat belt retractors that mount where the corner speakers go in other models.

Does anybody make a corner speaker bracket for 76-77?

Here's one for the other models that somebody modified to fit a 76-77 (bottom left photo). Is this the only option?

On Amazon a company called DeeJay Led , makes speaker boxes not brackets but they do conform to the corners of a square body , I do not have them , but reviews from square body owners say they fit well

There was a guy that I restored his seatbelts for him. He modified his speaker brackets to fit.

Your customer did a nice job modifying the steel brackets to work.

He did. So they will have to modified, because no one makes them. Not a big enough market the 76/77 that was only 1.5 years.

Here's the direction I'm currently headed.

These speaker boxes fit most squarebodies. These boxes won't fit trucks that have a second seatbelt retractor on the door jamb unless they are cut down, which I did. I'll recover them with black material.

I'm installing a pair of period correct NOS Philips 6x9 8-ohm speakers and grilles. I think these grilles are a pretty good match to the rest of the interior and the other grilles I had made.

I don't expect great sound out of the factory 8-track am/fm system, but the rear speakers should help. I'm going to put some polyfill in the boxes, which should help them sound a little better.

Can't wait to put the interior and restored seatbelts in. Almost done with wiring.
