Stock Radio Cutout

[SFTorange]

Does anyone know if there is a template for the stock radio cutout? Mine was only cut a bit, so I think we're going to try to smooth the existing cutout and then cut a new one to the stock size. I can't justify buying an entire patch panel just to fix the small amount of metal that was cut.

Thanks!

Run down to ur local junkyard and make a quick template. Other cars and trucks should have about the same size hole, granted their from that era.

If you still have the stock radio trace the face and stems...............for a template..........Hemmit

You could find a radio delete plate and run an IPod, I think the new Nano has an FM tuner also. See the attached thread.

My cab is completely open I can trace a piece of paper for a templet for you, I have an unmolested '60 gmc. Will it work for you?

If worse comes worse, get youself a small piece of aluminum, cut and drill to fit your radio, but larger than the actual opening, buff it down and install as a face plate, I `ve done it on my last `65, sets off the radio.

the 60 gmc is the wrong size shape, the radios changed to a skinnier wider face in 64...

I have a couple good dashes that I could get a template for you, or if you want to stop by next time you are in town..

Thanks everyone,

I'll go check at my local junkyard, or go visit Jon next time I'm in his neck of the woods.
