New head unit installed. I'll do speakers tomorrow or later tonight. Nothing fancy but enough to do the job. If the boys want more than this as they get to driving age they can use their own money LOL

Dash speakers installed. Showing the difference between the original Delco speakers and these Polk DB 4" speakers.

@Old77 , where did you get your new audio equipment?
Crutchfield. I really like going with them because they also have all the accessories you need like harness adapters and stuff. For instance, I wanted to replace the dash speakers and they said those 4” speakers wound fit and told me I’d need adapter plates and harness adapters to make everything work without cutting or splicing anything. Everything for perfect and was super easy. These little 4” speakers should sound better than a 4x6 speaker so I’m pretty excited. Everything all together (head unit, speakers and needed accessories) were all less than $200 shipped to my door

I don’t think so.

I had to stop myself before I started ordering a sub and going overboard. Had to remind myself this truck is for the boys to share and I don’t wanna make it too nice for them or they’ll not be motivated to get their own vehicle!! :lol:
