Stereo System Advice for my 1972 F-100

[blackford72]

Hi All, I am working on my 1972 F-100 and getting it ready for paint. And I also started driving it last week. I have been doing some thinking and I have thought about this winter after I get my truck painted, when I do, I may install a new stereo system in it. I am not sure if I want to put in a tape deck or a cd player. If I put in a cd player I may have to make some modifications. Does anybody have any tips or recommendations on what brand of stereo I should put in it? Just thought I ask. Thanks!!!

to put a cd player in your truck. read this.

Its the Metra 99-9222 for a 75-93 Volvo. It is pretty simple to put in if you still have the tabs to attach it to.

What do you use if you don't have the tabs?

You might be able to fasten homemade brackets to replace the tabs by welding them on or with screws. Just a thought. As far as stereos go, I have Sony Xplod systems in both our trucks. I have 6x9s in the doors and 6.5s in the headliner.

I did this, sounds good, but I am getting ready to take the Jensen and speakers out and go with a AM/FM in place of the AM in dash. The storage /arm rest has since been angled properly and cut down by about 5".
