After market Radio?

Post by suavematt »

:hmm: How the heck does one mount an aftermarket Radio with a CD receiver etc.. into the stock location with that big ol' steel bracket there to mount the stock tape-deck radio, & also holds the heat/AC/vent controls... Should I just cut em' out with my sawzall :evil: .. or is there an educated way to go about it?
Thanks :fr:

Later!

Here is how the volvo kit looks mounted. It is pretty easy to do.

It just mounts to your factory tabs. Hope that helps

Why is it that the trucks are always the best running vehicles in the family?

Thanks for the Info/pics guys. :hmm: I guess the 78/79 are different then the 67-77 F-series.
My 79' has the A/C/ Heat/Vent controls up above the radio, in the same square hole & they both use the same one-piece metal bracketry... I'll get pics next week.

Later.
