Speaker's / Gas Filler - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Had never seen this before. He put the speakers up under the dash.

Have never seen this idea either, but I like it. It's a late model bed....I know, but the idea is what I like. I wonder...If that would work for a f/s.

I am sure that the gas door would not be too hard to replicate on our truck's. As for the speaker's under the dash is very old and force's the music toward's yopur feet and not your ear's.. I can remember an issue of truckin showing how to glass in a box to your floor board's to install your speaker's in looked pretty cool ,but would not work on a daily driver IMO..

seems to me a speaker in the floor would be a colossal waste of time with water and dirt getting in it it would be destroyed in no time. i used to have an aftermarket console thng in my old 72 and i had two speakers in there that really made te stereo sound goodif you were putting in custom stuff to the truck id say thats the way to go

Hey andy,do you have a pic of your front bumper on your truck?I noticed you had two lights in the center and I'm tryin to find one similar to that.

Bought a steel bumper and cut the holes out and welded the pipe ring on back, with light hanger and welded the bolts up and grinded off the heads. Then I painted it.

knucklebuster · 11-27-2003, 01:58 AM

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-27-2003, 02:17 AM

I am not sure who make's the bumper but I think that we posted that pic from a show up in washington you may want to ask him.... I love that bumper and light combo..

if you want good sound, get kick panel speakers or bite the bullet and cut holes, they can always be welded shut later on, thats if you are gonna be putting your truck back to %100 stock, but if it is a daily driver I don't see anything wrong with cutting holes because installing a good stereo doesnt really depreciate the value of a truck
