**kwmech** · 01-25-2006, 10:30 PM

What, no tunes for the drivers side?

phlegm · 01-25-2006, 10:31 PM

You know someone (smarter then me) could make some money by making little speakers that screwed into the Shoulder harness holes.

CoolRide · 01-25-2006, 10:32 PM

Hahaha what a awesome idea!

Brad · 01-25-2006, 10:32 PM

I'm against cutting up good vintage steel like what's pictured, but in the..... glovebox????

pebbleboy · 01-25-2006, 10:32 PM

Thats gotta sound even

I'm one of those who believes it is a sin to cut the door. I bought repo doors to replace my butchered doors. However, I'm not so sure about the glove box door option. At least it is not as expensive to replace it.

Longhorn Man · 01-25-2006, 10:44 PM

personally, I'd rather have to weld up a couple small holes in the door, than to have the truck's SPID label ruined for ever.
Plus, that just looks 100% retarded.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-25-2006, 10:46 PM

How would you like to eat those in a wreck???

buildin72 · 01-25-2006, 10:54 PM

That looks even dumber than them being in the doors!!! The doors i have for my truck that i got cheap, have the holes cut in them. I just gonna use them for spraying practice and buy new, pricey ones.

The guy sitting in the pass side will look like "Is it live or is it Memorex"

bad68bowtie · 01-25-2006, 11:11 PM

A previous owner did it. I can't say that I recommend it a whole lot, but it is better than just the one speaker. I've been planning to move em down to the kick panels for a while now but I can't seem to keep enough money for all of that.

JAKES 68GMC · 01-25-2006, 11:19 PM

Good idea but looks crappy. I was thinking two waterproof universal-mount speakers mounted under the seat.
When I was taking the plow off of my truck, I was pulling out the control box, an I found something dangling, kinda felt like pantyhose

so I yanked on it, and probably a 25+ year old speaker carcass comes out in crumbles.

Hey Longhornman:

Ha ha ha
Anyone notice the cut dash?This truck is all original except for the audio phileage.
