I know I'm beating a dead horse but what is a good stereo to put in the stocks place? I want a nice display with minimal trimming

 

just find a single din on the internet or best buy or another store, bet an install kit for the truck (no trimming required, except to the install kit itself) and get the PROPER radio to factory harness adapter. don't try to splice the wires together by cutting off the factory connection.

easy and simple man! you can have a radio put in in about a half hour including soldering of all the new radio wires to the harness adapter.

ive got a sony radio, it was about $100-$150 cant remember what model it is though, sorry man. radio works great. installed a pioneer in my girls mustang, that one was about $100, no problems with that either but again I cant remember the model lol.

 

See signature below (97-03 audio basics).

 

I want to get a double din and will not settle for a single

 

youre looking at trimming then my friend!

single dins are simple to install.

 

You could get a single dip flip out and it wouldb be much easier to install

 

I had a single din flip out and couldn't stand the rattling, but I do alot of wheelin/ back road driving, I fit a double din in my truck

 

I mean a DD can fit, but its going to be hard to fit wiring in behind it, espiecally if you want Navigation, Rca's, etc.

 

Yeah, luckily with this deck the rcas don't plug into the deck they plug into a harness that then plugs into the deck so it gave me some more room

 

Check my sticky, you may be able to find a kit without having to trim much at all. I have just heard horror stories about ddins. And most of your SQ decks now days are single dins.
