Stereo - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My dash was cut poorly by a previous owner. Poking around on the wish app I came across this retro look stereo with Bluetooth and whatnot for $18 plus shipping. It has knobs and doesn't look out of place. It doesn't have a CD player but I do everything in my phone now anyways. Sounds good and looks good too if you need a stereo that looks good in our trucks and doesn't break the bank. I also bought a 64sq ft roll of sound deadener for $28. I'm going to get it down this weekend and I'll post pics and thoughts on how well it works. It was cheap enough to give a go.

Nice! One of the previous owners of my truck, also hacked up the dash for a modern stereo. I had to fabricate a similar solution for my radio that has been converted to AM/FM stereo and MP3 player.

Looks good. I can't believe it was that cheap.

It works really well, I was skeptical but thought I'd take a chance for that price. I've had it in about a week and a half and like it much better than the pioneer I took out.

I saw the one you posted for sale on Facebook. Looks like a good solution. Does it fit the standard rectangular hole that gets chewed in the dash of almost every old car and truck?

Ha ha, that's me. I ordered one, then my wife ordered me one for Christmas. It fits the rectangle after it's been chewed up. By a rabid beaver in my case, seriously looks like they did it with a rock.

I like that fix...mine was cut also and have been debating what to do.

Sounds like a great price on sound deadner. Where did you get it from?
Is it the sticky back stuff?
thanks

I got it off the wish app, it's the peel and stick. Can't wait to get that and the new carpet in!
