---Cool idea for you "non-dash cutters"---
 

I put my CD player in the glove box and put a stock AM radio in the dash. My hubby bent a piece of aluminum and put mounted it to the glove box hinge screws. Works great! and for those of you that don't want to have to open the glove box to change stations....he installed a infrared repeater. It just repeats the signal from the stereo remote to the stereo. The repeater is only about a 1/8" little square. I mounted it under the ashtray...works perfect!
Here are some pics. The last pic is the other end of the repeater that I taped to the inside of the glovebox door in front of the radio infrared signal.

That's really clean. I am going to do something just like that. The best part is that all of your radio equipment is out of view of thieves!!! Nice job!

That looks really good!

Looks Great! I am thinking of doing the same thing!

Hey thats a super job, your AM radio looks new also. How did your grill install go (outer part) did you run into any fitment problems. Your truck sure came out nice also, thanks Doug

Nice install, clean and simple...

I LIKE, I LIKE, I LIKE, GOOD CLEAN INSTALL, NICE WORK. :metal:

Nice job but what are the wireless headphones for?

kids in the back seat I do believe, the truck also has a TV in the back for videos :)

Nice set-up diane I have been waiting to get my stereo installed and can't wait... what are the 2 hole's for above the radio????

Hmmm...this is giving me ideas. I assume the infared repeater lets you control everything the remote normally could. Whats does that box fasten down too (since the glove box is cardboard)?

Very nice job, can you do mine too :lol: :D

i have been planning on somthing similar except i will be making the entire glove box out of sheet metal.

Make two of them sheet metal glove boxes and sell the second to me... I am using a cardboard box for mine right now.

Thanks for all the compliments! If you look below the heater controls you can see the infrared control for the DVD player...that way I can stop climbing in the back to push play! :cool: The infrared repeater for the CD player was $39 and just took a power wire and a ground. Easy install! You can just see the flip down screen for the DVD player tucked up in the roll bar in the pic below on the top right side.

69 Short Fleet- The grill install went good. We had reproduction fenders, and one of our hood springs is needing replaced, so it took a little work to get it all on right. I think the grills are definately worth the money tho'!

djracer- Wireless headsets are for the flip down flat screen/DVD player! The kids LOVE it! When my oldest (5yr old) saw the TV screen he said "Man! That is going to be the fastest Blazer EVER!" :)

kickinasphalt- My hubby took aluminum sheet metal and bent it to fit. the radio is VERY steady. the front lip just fastens down to the screws in the glovebox hinge. Works great! It could look better if it had sides, and would hide the wiring better, but I figure it is in the glovebox..who's going to see it! :p And yeah that repeater just repeats the signal, so works just like you are pointing the remote at the radio itself- wherever it is.

FRENCHBLUE72- The 2 holes above the AM radio are from the P.O. - he had a CB set up and hung the microphone from there! :barf: We forgot to tell the body guy to fill them! :rolleyes: We are looking for a cool magnet or something to cover them....not the best, but better than the holes, eh? Anyone have any better ideas to get rid of those holes or cover them up?

hey 1970blazin you could bribe hubby into cuttin the dash for a center ac vent and make it blow hot air for the chilly winter months?
just a thought? nice job where did he get the ir repeater?
love the rollbar!

it will be a while before i get around to making the glove box but when i do i will post the dimentions so the rest of you can make your own:D

Thats sweet. Nice work.

This is a website that shows the infrared repeater:

We have a friend that got us all of our stereo stuff - so he got it from his supplier.
