The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay The Radio Bench Installing stereo in glovebox...any takers?

my brilliant PO welded shut the radio mounting hole in the dashboard on my 53 gmc, so i couldn't add any radio without welding/cutting/torching. i put a cd in the glove compartment and it works fine. wish i'd gotten one with an RF remote so i don't have to open the door to change stations though. also, i still have the 6v setup, so i had to run a converter which i'm afraid to leave hot all the time so i lose my station settings and volume level settings whenever i shut the engine off. it works okay though. the only indication of a radio is the antenna. i thought about the hidden ones but didn't get a warm fuzzy on them working too well, so just went with the model that is spring loaded in the base like i remember in the old days seeing on cars and trucks. got it at my FLAPS.
