Re: cutting dash for stereo

I was in the same situation with my 72 GMC! Definitely did NOT want to cut anything. Also, how do you gaurd against a $500 stereo when these trucks aint the most secure vehicles around???

So I did what any red-blooded masochist would do and mounted it in my glovebox! But first I had to build my own glovebox!!

After many cardboard and fiberboard templates and about 30 hours later, here it is.

In addition, I removed the spare tire jack and built my own subwoofer enclsosure to mount a 10" wub. Amp is hidden as well.

Only thing not hidden are the kickpanel component speakers, but I figured since the "original" Sears radio is still in place, no one would really be all too excited about five-fingering one of those.

Anyway, you did a clean installation! And you can feel good about doing it yourself!!
