I am trying to install speakers in the original location under the dash of a 1965 C-10 fleetside. I have custom autosound speakers that they say will install in stock location. But I can't find anywhere to mount it. I don't think the truck had a radio originally so probably no speakers. Does anyone have any ideas how to mount the speakers?

Well, there should be a slotted section on the dash. IF so, what I did was get some thin gage strips of either aluminum or steel and cut some home made brackets. I just used some cardboard to make a template and it worked out OK. Then I also made sure the brackets could accomodate hanging the radio since the back side needs it. It's not fun working on your head but with a little patience and trial and error it was solved.

Yeah that sounds about right for working under dashboard. Get inverted, crawl in, and stay til the job is done....

Hey folks. Don't give up. I'm working on a 63' for my Sis with a sizeable jukebox in it(long ways from a stocker, 350/4speed,4:11 rear.) And under the dash is a mount like you're talking about already made. As soon as the new harness gets here next week, I'll pull it out and take some measurements and some pix.
