Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

Even though I do not turn a radio on in my truck I still hear music, lol.

Driving these old trucks bring back so many memories of California Cruisin' listening to the tunes of the 60's and of course the voice of the "Wolfman".

Shows you how old I am, lol. I know a lot you never heard the voice of the "Wolfman" around the midnight hour.

Oh, the memories.

My truck has a factory plate over the radio hole:lol:

A stock am radio with the stock dash mount speaker adds a lot of character to any old vehicle IMO.

I put a "NOS" Radio Shack FM converter in my '69 Camaro....

Although perhaps you had to grow up in that "era" to truly appreciate what I am trying to say here.....

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

These trucks were made for work so any speed above 30 mph I lose my AM radio and I just turn it off. They weren't too concerned about road noise on these trucks.

The main reason I moved my gas tank was to make room for speakers...hellz yes I listen to music.
I respect the point that you make and salute your choice of tunes.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?

In my '70 the PO had an aftermarket radio cassette. I used to listen to all of my :metal:Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Deep Purple, Cheap Trick, Van Halen, Krokus, and Black Sabbath :metal:cassettes. When the cassette player stopped working the whole unit came out and I never replaced it. That's when I started to listen to the flowmaster symphonies and never even thought of replacing my radio.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

I saw this thread was moved and wondered where the heck it would have been moved to. I dont recall ever seeing a truck audio section, maybe I had just forgotten? Anyway I like it because Ive been considering actually putting a radio in my truck that works =)

Why I hadnt worried about it before was because my truck made me nervous driving it and I wanted to hear all the little noises it was making just in case something was ready to flip out on me. Been running pretty good lately so maybe its time to put some tunes in that work.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

Being young and stereo deprived in all my parents' vehicles, its very high in the list of things to do after i get it on the road... :D I might even do it before i get her on the road, to be able to sit in and just listen to the stereo while "polishing" the interior :D

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

I need my tunes. My radio took a poo on me so I have been using my cell phone and Pandora to listen to my tunes. :lol: good for about an hour and half of listening because my cig lighter doesn't work. :lol: But I need my tunes! Especially on long drives, It keeps me awake. Though I do admit, I do like the tunes of my car and its flow 40 out the back, and even my crappy clasped glass pack muffler on my truck. It sounds awesome when I step on it! :metal: I can't wait till I can get a new muffler for the truck! But yes, I love my tunes. I especially love my HD radio in my car. I want one for my truck.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

Since my truck doesn't get driven much right now... it's radio is in my Toyota so I listen to it all the time (but not in the truck!) lol

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

Wait? You can listen to the engine? I can't even begin to hear that thing over my stereo :D

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

I put a USB capable deck in my '78...So I can listen to all the hits from 1978 when i drive around

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

absolutely... loud too.. comes pretty close to drowning out the exhaust... and that set off car alarms...

loud music is good music.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 

Ya know when i was younger i used to think loud music was good music, I used to sit for hours at a time with it cranked up at home and in the car or truck as the case may be.. Today, being 50 i have perminant tenitis (ringing) in my ears and quite a bit of high end hearing loss that gets worse every year even tho i now wear hearing protection both at work and even if i go to a concert. Trust me its not very fun. As much as i love music and still listen to it it would be a hell of a lot better if i could hear ALL of the music and not just 80% of it..

Sad but true.
