I didn't want to hack up the dash in the new cab, so here's what I did, it mounts to the screws for the heater controls and I added a couple self tapping sheet metal screws to prevent unwanted rattles. all it is is a 4" piece of alluminum trim from a screen door. It's about 1/8" thick and is channel.

looks easy to steal! but still cool, out where you live your probaly not worried about that

yeah, it would be easy to steal, but your right, i'm not worried about it because of where I live, and the fact that it's a $80 pioneer head unit that sounds like crap.

Plus, since it is easy to steal, the thief wouldn't need to rip a big hole in the dash. Lot easier just to buy a new deck than to repair a dash.

Slick set up. I'm putting a MP3 player with remote in the glove box. AM or maybe AM-FM in the dash for original looks.
