Well since I will be tearing down my '72 I decided to put the stereo that was in there into my '68. I had the factory AM radio before and had to take it out and bend back the tabs. Then I used the Volvo kit and it turned out pretty good. Its a Kenwood head unit with Alpine 6x9's sitting on the floor. It sound pretty good and is plenty loud. You can also see in th pic the tach and the white guages I added. The pic are toward the bottom of my cardomain page.

Honestly, I really would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy.

It is florian67's album. He has already done what I plan on doing...only mine will be angled so the speakers are aimed up towards the passenger and driver.

Cool deals. I like my use of an allready trashed factory radio bezel.
pic added. Way to go Keith and tech support, this repair was fast.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

metra has a kit, if you watch the did you know section at the top of each page.
or if the factory chrome bezel has allready been goof a little cutting here or there with a dremel or cuttoff wheel and the cd will fit and look pretty neat.
Toght i had the pic of the other stereo installed too but looks even nicer this one had a short in the radio that when you kicked the engine over it lost ground long enough to wipe the settings back to factory.
