Any place that sells sterios sells trim kits. A generic one will do fine. They might list your truck if you go to crutchfield.com and use their search tools.
You could probably do something with Kydex.
I made a gauge bezel out of aluminum once and it turned out great!Quote:

You need a modern radio with a DIN chassis and mount.
A 2cnd +1 for Crutchfield.
If you don't smoke you can fit one of the smaller Cobra CB's in the cutout if you ditch the ashtray.............
Hey Sparky Check these links out. Got anymore pictures of the the truck I love old f series especially the 79's as I grew up with one in the family.
