I haven't posted in a while as I have been driving the C10 and enjoying it. Recently had to have the rear end rebuilt, so I took the opportunity to upgrade to a Detroit locker and 3.73 gears. It's awesome.

I needed some tunes. I was using a blue tooth speaker and my cell phone. I would have been OK with that except for the volume control being on the phone instead of the dash.

My truck had been previously butchered by someone putting in a single din radio. But the hack job was so bad it wasn't usable.

Fortunately, someone made an aluminum plate to cover the area and allow for a radio mount. But when I tried to cut it, I didn't have the correct tools.


So, I made a couple of options.



I chose the black ABS as it matched my instrument cluster almost perfectly.



Now I have AM/FM/Bluetooth, etc. The radio was about $40 from Walmart and amazon. The hidden antenna was $10 off ebay. The speakers were a couple of cheap kick panel speakers that came with the truck. They sound terrible, but my exhaust is so loud it doesn't matter.
