nice! do you not have a radio? it looks like you have a sweet din pocket.

Also the lower console says nissan(i have two gauges there)

That looks like a nice truck to build on.

A stock radio will give you cassette at very best. I think many were just radio. I have seen them on ebay and such. I would go for a custom deck. You shouldn't have to cut the dash if you do it right. Many of the modern stereos fit well enough. Mine came with a pioneer cd player.. They also mounted some speakers in the back of my king cab WITHOUT being intrusive. You could also mount under dash or in the glove compartment and leave that swift little pullout tray there. I kinda like it.

Definitely get some paint and rust treatment on that bed. Those seem to go left and right and yours looks savable.

Nice truck.

Both my 720s are missing the latch too. One of the previous owners used velcro, it kinda works.
