Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series

No pics. Just imagine small pilot holes where you will be putting screws thru to install. This makes the instsall easier. Simply hold the bracket in place, mark the spot on the cab where you ill be drilling (by using the pilot holes), then drill the holes in the truck....install brackets.

Great looking brackets. Are you still selling them? Do you have a solution for the seat belt mounts on a '77 C10? or is just a matter a relocating the retractor mechanism? Thanks, Scott

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series

Yes, still making them, and still have them for sale. As far as the mid mount retractor belts...I have no solution other than to change them out to the later low mount retractor belts. This would be a good upgrade anyhow, as they really function poorly...I have them in my 77 and can't stand them.

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series

6x9's are a tight fit due to their increased width and magnet diameter/depth/size compared to factory installed 4x10's...but sound soo much better. The brackets are designed to fit them as far back in the cab corner as possible. As you can see, they fit, and allow full range of movement on bench seat trucks, it is even better on bucket seat trucks.

Here's mine, still need to swap out for better speakers and grills. If you have issues with the larger magnets a spacer is readily available, search "6X9 Spacer" on eBay.

Re: 73-87 cab corner 6X9 speaker brackets - 2nd series

jeff,
these look really good. i wonder if you or someone on the board might have any idea what "tweaking" might be needed to fit them into a '72 cab?? if it appears like it might be just some "small trimming" then i could probably be talked into a pair.... LOL!!

Thanks for any input on the fintment issue.

Sorry I missed your reply. These are nowhere near close to fitting the older generation of trucks. However, I am working on making these for 67-72 trucks, so stay tuned.
