Just wanted to see the different ways people have used to put their aftermarket radios in these trucks. I know that the opening is a bit smaller then the normal single -din openings. So how crafty were you in putting them in? Pictures would be nice :)

No pictures, just used a very sharp exactoknife and cut it too the exact size of the DIN. if you cut it just right not a lot of work is needed afterwards to make it look pretty, the hard part is wiring, with a full DIN stereo the room behind it is very very small, so everything needs to be pushed to one side if you want the wiring to fit.

yeah they hacked out the spot and took a piece of MDF and just barely got it to fit. still pushes out a bit especially with the antenna plugged in. I don't really care as long it works.

I'll see if I have a pic of it.
