Hi Folks,

Long time no post, been busy with work and life.

In regards to the under dash speaker for our trucks. Although I have the OEM bracket, the reconing of a single speak does not seem worth it. The catologs all seem to sell a replacement stero dual speaker unit. I ordered one, but can;t quite seem to figure out hoe to mount it. I'm having the OEm radio upgraded to FM digital with an iPod input. Anybody put one of these after market speakiers in that can give some pointers?

The unit I bought is linked below.

The dual cone at the bottom of page #38-8513

Thanks
Jake

My 64 used a stock bracket with a rubber bumper in front that "wedged" into the form of the dash. I stuck that bumper on one of the brackets that came with the dual speaker setup. I then made two simple angle brackets (one each side) to mount the rear of the speaker to the firewall. It holds quite well, but fair warning...I find that the audio of these dual speakers is terrible. I also have kick panel speakers that do the real job.

These links might get you started in the right direction. I realize they are not exactly the answer to your question, but they show what the stock setup looked like.
