Mounting a radio in the old truck

You need to find a 78-79 grill and lights for it.
Totally changes the front end look.

I did one on my dads truck, it was a 84, instead of mounting on the dash i would cover it up and put it in the glove compartment. my dad loves it. he hooks his iphone up via bluetooth, and hes done.!!!

2nd you might want to measure the dept u have there to make sure a radio will fit.

Hell on those old Fords you can crawl up under the dash and take a nap.

I put lots of radios, scanners and CB's in F350's of that vintage, even put a 5" TV in one just to the right of the radio where the AC vents are.
Behind the dash room is not an issue on them.

Here's a decent video on what would need to be done to install a modern stereo into the cutout in the dash.

LOL that's harsh. Just got to get my ass out there with my meter and find a constant hot and switched hot and I will be good to go.

That shouldn't be too hard for an electrician..........
