How's this for a way to install the radio? It works, I guess. When I get the truck painted sometime down the road, I'll either have this painted too, or I'll have a similar sized piece made with flushed stainless screws and a mirror finish.

Oh, and note the two toggle switches. Those operate my blower motor and heat. Nice.

And another dash bites the dust, and another one gone, and another one gone.... Just kidding

Looks pretty clean. If your not a purist, that'll do.

Yeah, it really doesn't bother me too much. I wish it hadn't been done, but on the positive side my decision has been made for me about what to do with the radio. haha! I think if I get this polished up and the stainless screws that will sink flush with the plate, it'll look good.

The heater controls bother me more... that's just lazy. They work, but I want to try and get the original operability restored.

Well my dash is perfect till I cut it up for a cd player and weld up the heater control hole and ashtray holes. Whatever works for you and you like it is all that matters. Just a little polish and some counter sunk screws like you said and it will be clean looking.

I wasnt bashing, please dont misunderstand. I'm more for look that purity anyway. And that install is clean. I had to butcher my dash on my 81 c10, but i feel that it turned out good. I had to have a cd player in that thing. Now my ford, its to original for me to dare change anything. 10 disk changer hidden, and i'm happy. But anyhow, I like it

Looks good. Your right some nice flush screws would do the trick.

Thanks... I think a better stereo might help, too... more flush mounted or something more classic. Baby steps...
