Wow, that looks great! Classic, and classy! So much better than my AM radio with the broken frequency window.

Thanks for the comments.

I installed a dual voice coil, (DVC), 140 watt speaker from Custom Auto Sound. Had to modify the original braket, even though it was supposed to b a direct fit. Did fit well with a little work. It is a good sounding speaker, but over the years I have had better. I give it a 8 out of a possible 10.

Awesome job on the stereo. This is still...on my list of things to do to my truck.
Guess I just like listening to the rattles too much though... :lol:

So how do you like your radio? Does it put out good sound and do you have any complaints about it? I am thinking about getting the 230 from them but wasn't sure of the quality.
