    You're going to stick with vinyl in Arizona? I don't even want vinyl in California!

    Sounds like a good Idea though, but why not upholster with leather or at least cloth?

    i don't like leather, and it had cloth factory. i kinda want to build it old school, and all the 60's muscle cars came with vinyl. i'm a big fan of it.

    Okay, sounds alright. Old school muscle car idea is pretty good. Our '69 charger came with leather or something similar on it, definitely not vinyl though.

    Gonna add white walls?

    Hi Bernie;

    Here is an idea for you. I have old customs and street rods and like you I wanted the radios to look factory but still have some new technology. A Kenwood model KRC-3006 has the shafts, includes a casette player and you can hook up a 10 disk changer. By using your Toyota knobs you really have to look close to tell whether it is a factory radio or not. I have this system installed in my 83 Toyota Truck.

    i basically want the stock radio for looks. i don't even care if it works. i'm planning a decent modern system that will be hidden. i've seen the radios your talking about, i wanted one for my 66 mustang.

    complete wiring harness for the stereo :lol: just need a RCA plug to go to the speaker.

    not sure if you need the bracket on the back of the dash to install or not, you definitly need the lil bracket on the back of the radio to hold the weight.


    pm me your addy for a shipping quote, and let me know how much of it you want.
