My wife gave me a Retro Sound stereo for my birthday (pic below). It looks like it’s meant for a ‘72-78 FJ-40, but I have an ‘83 FJ-60. Anyone have any experience putting one in an FJ-60? If so, how’s it go? Any pics?

I had just bought one of the radios yesterday and ordered your bracket last night. I'll let you know how I like the radio once I get it in. I'm going to put a Sony XMS400d mini amplifier (Sony XMS400D - https://www.crutchfield.com/p_158XMS400D/Sony-XMS400D.html) behind it to get a little more life out of the speakers.I cant see that fitting easily into an FJ60 without modifications.

There was a thread about that radio recently on Facebook I think. The consensus is that it's the same radio that's all over ebay for $20. The reviews weren't great, if I remember correctly.

Wow, I’m really glad I didn’t buy that last night. I almost pulled the trigger, but I’m on the fence about installing a floating screen for a backup camera and CarPlay. I think I’ll take the practical modern approach now that you mention this.There was a thread about that radio recently on Facebook I think.

Blaupunkt has some retro-looking decks that I’ve been looking at. You have to order from Europe though, there don’t appear to be any dealers in the US. Here’s a dealer I found.

Thanks all for the replies. Does anyone know the actual dimensions on the stereo opening?

Exactly. It’s junk. I put one in my bj74 and it’s junk. Couldn’t see the screen unless at night, terrible reception and low power. Found out the above after searching model number.
It’s $20 eBay junk. Now sure the guy did “some” hacks to paint it black then tune out all the effects flashy on the screen, but it’s junk.
For $20 I could live with it.
The blaupunkt would be period correct and almost the way I went. Pricey.

Looks great.
In the end I put my double alpine/CarPlay from another vehicle and it’s nice to have apps/map/speedometer etc.
Someone needs to gut some 60 and 62 OEM radio housings to work with modern electronics and still have functional buttons 
That one's over my head though.

Another option to consider is this Continental head unit. I have it in my 911SC and it is a great unit for the $$. Planning to put one in my FJ60 this winter also.

EDIT: here is a photo installed in my 911. Not the best shot of it, but it looks period correct for 80's cars.
