That's what I've used when the OEM rear radio mounting bracket gets lost.
And YES, you will need it, especially if you run your truck in rough places. The original AM/FM [or AM] Delco radios were really tail- heavy. Some more modern tuners and cassette radios were lighter, more solid state, but reinforcement in the back of the unit is a good idea in any case.

Thats a good idea. Its such a weird name for something that isnt like any tape a person would normally think of.
