Thanks, I too have much appreciation for the old and the original whenever I can. Not finished yet, just got the antenna and instructions and contemplating the exact location before I drill that hole. Lots of advice on here on that so I should be good. Watching out for the hood is great advice. I probably would not have thought about that until -- oops. I'm also in the process of changing the vacuum wiper motor for an electric one, so need to finish that before actually placing the radio. Just seemed easier for access to do that now, before the radio takes up most of the space. As you are most likely (me, sometimes painfully, always uncomfortably)) aware, these spaces are not easy to get at, what with clutch, brake, steering column, gear shift, ebrake and dump bed shifters all on the floor competing for the space I need to crawl into to get my eyes and hands up there. Nobody said it would be easy, but man, I'm gettin too old for this ***, not too old yet, just gettin (and not complaining either, just sayin). Thanks again Truckernix - appreciate your help. I know I'll be back for more.
Dale
