aftermarket radioo

[boozer68]

any ideas or pics of what you are doing to the dash as far as a aftermarket radio would be? need an idea for a braket

If you still have the stock mounting ears, you can buy one that fits at http://www.vintagevibes.com



They also sell a dual cone speaker that fits in the dash spot as well as ones that are supposed to fit under the seat.

You can install a CD player into your truck's slanted dash by using a Metra DIN radio installation kit #99-9222 for a '75-'93 Volvo. Flip the mounting piece upside down and attach it to the bent-back ears in your dash, which will allow the stereo to sit perfectly horizontal in the dash opening.

There are quite a few threads here on the forums with folks doing this. Do a search and you can even see some pics of completed installations.

I bought the volvo kit but I am thinking I am going to build it so it sits into the dash at the top but not sure yet.

what year volvo kit !!my dash stock mounting ears was cut up by the last moron so it does not matter if i put a newer one there

Its the Metra 99-9222 for a 75-93 Volvo. It is pretty simple to put in if you still have the tabs to attach it to.

71highboy.....my truck is alot of work but I can do it on the replacement cab before it goes in. I plan to fill the holes for the dash pad anyway so what is a little more work.

Hey Guys,

Will this Volvo instal kit work on my 67 F100? I know the 67 has a one of a kind radio. I want to instal a Pioneer stereo but don't know what instal kit to you for the aftermarket radio. Please let me know. Also, where can I get the instal kit? Thanks!

Where do you aquire the volvo kit? I have a 67 as well that has already been cut .

Ordered mine on Amazon. Got it for about 1/2 price. You can get it through Best Buy also.

I put mine in the glovebox so I didn't mess up the original appearance of the truck. Use an infra-red remote to operate the radio so you don't have to leave the glovebox door open.

This is an idea I had a while back but another idea that I'm actually leaning toward is leaving the stock AM in its place for appearance and just plugging an MP3 player directly into an amplifier that runs 1 or 2 pair of aftermarket speakers. This would all be hidden too of course with just a single audio wire coming out of somewhere (ashtray might be good) that plugs into an MP3 player or iPod. No more decks for me...no cutting, bending, or otherwise messing up a perfectly nice dash! And my music goes with me!

How does this look? Amp is in the glove box, no modifications to the truck and we are good to go!
