i'm trying to do something similar to this in my 92 pickup by removing the cubbie hole under the the cd player. anyone with first hand experience with these know if they would fit a DIN sized area and be secure?

I didn't read the link closely but here are the facts:

The factory opening is .5" too skinny to fit a 1-DIN siezed anything. It is tall enough. You can easily open it up the .25" on each side with a die grinder.

So if that switch panel is indeed 1-DIN the author had to widen his radio hole. I didn't see if he did or not.

The panel by itself is probably pretty cheap, I would just buy one and find out.

Sold the pieces talked about in the tech article to a guy that did this same thing in his 4runner, what you want to do in your pickup. As Bailey has indicated, the hole needs to be opened up, and is not that big of a deal to do.


Good luck!

are you talking fj40 radio opening? i'm referring to my pickup as stated before. i guess i could have posted elsewhere, but it's just force of habit to post in this section.
