I left the original hole and am looking for something that fits it nicely. I also want the abaility to use USB and maybe IPOD.
Any suggestions on a good resource for a stereo unit and speaker set-up? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 | Mongo's garage offers a original looking radio that has an Mp3 plug. i have one in my 54 and looks and works great. www.mongosgarage.com.

They are AM/FM with I think an MP3 player input. The price seems to have remained the same over the years. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 66 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 66 | That is rreally cool looking.

It will only run 2 speakers that mount in the stock location behind the dash. One thing that I did was to wire it to the ign. on position on the ign. switch so that when I turn the truck off the radio turns off to.
