I ordered the Custom Autosound 740 radio for the truck. My preference would have been to have an original radio modified for Bluetooth, but that is big bucks. So I went the Custom Autosound route. I wanted something that resembles the old radio, but has the nice features that modern cars have...hands free calling, auxiliary input, USB, etc. When I drive this truck long distance I would like to have the Bluetooth so I can stream my favorites from Sirius/XM. I guess it loos ok, it is way lighter than the original AM radio.

Another nice feature is it will run the 6x9 Cerwin-Vega speakers I have in the truck. It also has RCA jacks if I want to install an amp.
