Thanks Don. Your brackets went out last week, you should have them the end of this week I suspect, as long as the holiday today didn't delay that some.

Again, thanks for your purchase.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a set of brackets for my 53 3100. These things fit wonderfully and are nicely built. I didn't install them personally, but the guys at the shop were thrilled with the parts - thick steel and easy to work with. They really are a custom fit for these cabs. I didn't want to cut holes in my doors or install kick panels for speakers, so these brackets are exactly what I was needing. Highly recommend these if anyone else is in the same situation. Thanks, Jeff!

Hi Jeff, the speaker brackets just arrived. I am impressed, the fit up is perfect, I will trim a tab on the lower column and it looks like the seatbelt retractor will work as I planned - thank you !

A question - does anyone think a body panel assembly adhesive would hold these in place, she'll be a 'driver' not a 'grover'.... ?

I really need to find a cab to mock them up on, same for 60-66. There is a house near me, they have a 55-59 cab in their driveway...was going to stop by and se what the deal was. I have tomorrow off...just might do that, you never know what they will say.

I have another idea that may work for someone who isn't so good at metal fab. I had a piece of vinyl across the bottom of my cab, all the way from each door jamb across the back. This is a very bad picture of it being it looks all wrinkly but it's when I was tearing the truck apart so it's screwed up.



But it ran all the way wrapping around each side perfectly. A piece of metal could be made to hold the speaker that would be screwed to the structure back behind that vinyl and then the speaker grill on the vinyl with trapping the vinyl between the grill and the speaker. It could suck in a little bit stretching the vinyl and I think it would look pretty good.
