Re: stereo head unit upgrade
I have never done anything to an old truck and worry about "resale value". You ain't gonna get out of it what you put into it anyways.
I cut the dash for a "modern stereo" in a 1967 C10 back in the day. Looked good and was functional to me. My Dad also cut his dash in his 1970 CST/10 a long time ago and installed a really nice Kenwood unit. He could easily get $6,000 or more for his rig and nobody would bat an eye at the stereo in the dash.
I need to install a stereo in my current rig and am a sucker for oldish looking modern systems with all the knobs and push buttons of yore. But has all the modern amenities as described above. I'm also eventually going to mount an amplifier under the seat as well.
It's your dash... cut it if you want. Cats are hacking up long beds to make ugly short bed trucks at an alarming rate, so a cut dash isn't a thing if you ask me.
