?' about installing factory radio

[dfrank]

The previous owner of my truck cut out the dash to put in an aftermarket radio. Does any body sell a patch panel so i can install a factory radio when I restore the truck? Or is my only option to cut out a piece from a junk cab? I think a factory radio would look much better than an aftermarket radio. Thanks in advance!!

I had to get patch panels from a donor for both of my trucks. I just used small nuts and screws to install the patches.

Thanks! Does anybody sell a patch panel for that or can you only get them from a junk donor cab?

Amen on using a panel from a junk cab, way cheaper than anything an aftermarket company will charge, you cut it way big to make install easier. Put a factory radio in and hook up the light, then put your actual head unit in the glove box so you have actual late model sounds.
