well the stock radio is as ig as a double din but in the back it slopes down to become a single din. I did some research and there was a guy on youtue that went through all the steps to make it happen.
First you take out the stock radio, but you have to take off the piece of dash that surrounds the radio, AC controls, etc. Then you cut the plastic piece that slopes down. In the video the guy used a drimmel, but that got plastic shards everywhere. So i used a saudering iron with a platic cutting tip. it works perfectly and there were no plastic shavings anywhere! You also have to buy an adapter kit for it to sit up straight and you can buy those online.

Just got the truck a month ago and trying to decide what mods I want to do with it. I want a low profile toolbox but can't make up my mind if I should go with aluminum or black.
