Flush radio install

[George Blake]

I'd like to thank all you guys for posting up pics of what you had done and the guys that said, just cut the A/C plenum and it goes right in...your right.
Here's mine. Flat piece of 1/8" plastic I got from Parts Express. Covered in Grey leather. Got rid of the cig lighter since I'll be running an inverter and a regular output like another gentleman on here has done. This fit right in. I just epoxied the panel to the stock bezel after carefully removing the stock area where the hatch button and cig lighter was.

And here's the mess just to the left while I get my carbon fiber gauges set up.

My wife's used to it now.

I used to have pics of that. When my Ty got broken into 6 years ago, no one would take the job because the dash had to come out. They took a crowbar or something similar and broke the whole center of the $600 dash out to take the $85 radio :rant:

Looked like the interior of the truck threw up. I had to do it myself and the insurance adjuster from State Farm actually felt sorry for me....imagine that. Thank GOD for the Helms manuals I had.

It's so easy to make, I couldn't sell them. It just takes time. Anyone could do it.

I will not say exactly how they got in. I will say I had to replace the door skin. My truck right now has a hole where they tried to chisel around the door lock on a different occassion.....WITH NO RADIO EVEN IN THE TRUCK. Unless they were wanting to steal the whole thing.
