mine looks like 1980chevy4x4's that lip on the left side makes it stick out......think I just need to trim some off.

I used a block off plate and made a new housing for the head unit:

The thing is not real hard to reach but I have a remote in the center console to control the thing.

I have a non-working Original am/fm radio in the stock location. And I built a center console for my cd player. I also have my water temp gauge mounted on the console. When I leave the truck I usually cover up the cd player and gauge, so it appears that all I have is the am/fm radio.

eamims · 04-27-2004, 09:51 PM

I wanted to do the same thing and leave the AM radio in, and then put the new unit under the seat, where I could reach it with my right hand. But Pioneer's remote controls are line-of-sight and I couldn't find a wired remote ffrom Pioneer. It's cool since most new head units play MP3s or WMAs, there isn't the need to access the unit all the time to switch discs.
