My son's first truck
Hey guys, I have been looking on here for a while and have picked up a lot of great info.
i just bought my son his fist truck. 67 C-10. It has a front end from a 69 and a cedar wood bed. 292 w/3 on the tree. We were considering ordering some kick panel speakers from LMC, was wondering if anyone on here had any experience with these (item #38-8520) or any others. Any input would be appreciated. Mandatory pics... |

Re: My son's first truck
I have them on my 70. They work and fit good. Only thing I had to do was move my High/low beam switch over just a bit. Other than that, no issues.

Re: My son's first truck
theyre only held in by the door weatherstrip. not very sturdy i had to run two short sheet metal screws to secure it to the kick panal. it barely clears the e brake pull handle if you mount a grill on it

Re: My son's first truck
I installed plastic kick panels in my truck. They were too shallow to mount a good quality speaker so I made a ring out of 1/2" board to provide a bit more clearance. Then a sawed out a backing board so that I could seal the kick panel from behind. I stuffed a bit of insulation into the kick panel cavity and then glued the plastic kick panel to the backing board using silicone sealer. Finally, I got several stick-on felt "dots" to the back of the panel so that it wouldn't rattle once attached to the metal kick panel. One small hole was drilled and a single screw was used to secure the kick panel assembly in place. I am getting a decent bass response out of these 6" speakers now.
