Re: New Truck Radio's in Jegs
Everyone who cut their dash (like me), now wishes they would have waited. Oh well.. Patch panel time when she gets new paint!
That is a sweet unit.

Re: New Truck Radio's in Jegs
This is good for those with no radio and an uncut dash.I`m going with converting a stock radio with the same capabilities.

Re: New Truck Radio's in Jegs
heck of a lot cheaper than the custom autosound radios. All these options would cost 3 or 4 hundred in those. I remember when you could get these at Walmart for $25.

Re: New Truck Radio's in Jegs
I have been looking at these for a month or so now. But due to other necessary parts (trans, driveshaft, brakes, radiator) I have to wait till Christmas and hope Santa brings it LOL

Re: New Truck Radio's in Jegs
if you want to play CDs, then you're in it for $400 bucks before you get out the door.
Just so no one thinks this is a cost effective way of listeneing to tunes. |

Re: New Truck Radio's in Jegs
Mounts off the knob posts perhaps? That's how a lot of the older ones do it.

Re: New Truck Radio's in Jegs
If the radio is fairly light in weight, like most of the new elctronic radios, and if you can actually do it, the dash metal should hold in place.
However, the older style heavier radios had a bracket towards the rear that held it in place. I've installed my old style radio both ways -with and without the bracket -and it held pretty well. |

Re: New Truck Radio's in Jegs
so..the truck i'm buying doesn't have any kick panel speakers and the current owner doesn't know if the stock dash speaker works cause it doesn't have a radio in it. any good links to kick panel speaker builds?
