Stereo Install ???????

[rockcod]

I am going to put a stereo in the 45, and I refuse to cut the dash. So, I am thinking of putting the radio in the glove box. I would like to see where you guys are putting your speakers in the crampish 45 cab. Any help and pics are appreciated.

Tony,
you can put it under the dash, if you find a vintage radio
have a german link ( they equip these old radios with modern components (stereo ....)
would think about that
original car radios for classic cars

Or you could put it under the seat?

I've installed two in the box. I bought the deck with a remote control.
Works good.

Did not even think of that, Thanks!

Did you mount the stereo on a slide out?

How about speakers? and what type are you using?

 

[TMACK]

No, It's not a slide out. Very similar to this product.
FJ40 Products
Speakers are 4" mounted near the kick vents.

Depends on how nice of a stereo you are wanting to use. I put mine in the dash. There is a Pioneer radio/cassette player that fits into the dash hole without cutting. The radio trim needs to be cut down a bit to fit between the dash pads, but nothing on the truck needs to be cut.

Then, I used the existing speaker mount on the PS and bought another and mounted it on the driver side. Both using existing factory mounts and holes and keeps the speakers up out of the way. Little speakers, but enough for my use.

No stereo hole on the 65...

What? Probably no cup holders either.

Here's what I did in mine. Easily removable, no new holes, slides right in

What do you do when you remove the top?

Thanks for the Becker site. I need to replace the original Mexico for my 107. Unfortunately, it was "thrown out" in the 80's. Are those radios rebuilt or new? Will they work in the US?

Comes off with the top, no radio

Mark they are rebuilt,

Check out this stereo....haven't used it but I plan to install one in my 45lv in the near future. If you haven't done anything by then, I'll give you my feedback on it.

As far as speakers go, I'm planning on putting a couple enclosed speakers under the front bench and maybe a couple in the cargo area.
