I say make it how you want. If you search this site, there is a guy who did some metal cutting / welding / blending to make a double din deck fit in the stock dash location. I cant remember if he removed the ash tray or not to make room, but who uses the ash tray on a tricked out truck anyways? It looked sick!!! My dash was already cut, so I installed a new Alpine with pandora and bluetooth. I hid the IPOD tail and routed it into the glove box so I could keep my ipod out of the way / hidden and not on the floor or seat.
