Thaks for the quick response…What would be your runner up?

Lots of options, depending on what style you want. Big fan of Kenwood, Sony, and Alpine. The real question is whether or not you want the "floating screen" type or a traditional Double DIN. I'm going through the same decisions right now. I'm currently leaning towards this Alpine double DIN unit.

Agreed, a volume knob was an absolute requirement for me so it let to the Kenwood

Yeah. It's strange that so many head units have gone away from the volume knob. That's one reason I am looking at the Alpine. It has a remote in lieu of a volume knob.

It’s a single din , but the 7” screen comes out when ignition on. So great for not advertising to thieves and it also has the volume knob.

Have you been happy with the AVH-3500NEX? I am looking at the for my 85, 60. Any good speaker options without much cutting?

Thanks.

i live my double din avh -nex. good simple backup camera. has rear view mode during travel if you want to check your trailer and has ability to put a front view camera too!! only issue i have is with the flip screen it binds a bit and won’t open but i don’t use cds so it’s a non issue. otherwise installed to original stereo bracket with no modifications

I have been happy with it, super easy to install and has worked flawlessly for the last few years. The screen can get a little jittery on rough roads but you can just push a button to have retract back in and still listen to music. And I added a back up camera. The PO had already installed some 5 1/2 in doors and 6x9 ,in back running through an amp, so don’t have much to offer in speaker install. I did add a preamped subwoofer under the rear seat to round it out.

Thanks for the input. I will probably go that route.
