I moved mine (63 K20) to the rear so I would have some place to mount real speakers. As I was welding up the 6" X 9" holes that some P.O. hacked into my doors, I thought that would be the best place for all of the stereo equipment. This truck will also have a class III receiver hitch surrounding it also. I didn't do it for the so-called "safety" of it, just to gain more interior room,
