Oh man I wish I had pics...to frame the story I was 15. I just have to have some decent speakers, and for some reason was completely against putting them in the doors...they didn't have speaker pods for the kick panels back then and Dad and I weren't really that imaginative yet. Not messing with these trucks before, we had no clue that there is structure behind the kick panels. We cut holes with all the wrong tools (PITA) for 6.5" speakers right in the kick panels and through half of the cowl structure behind. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. Besides the speakers getting wet and rusting in a year, the air was always wrong. I eventually had that all fixed up right but man how dumb was I?
