[dontknowitall]

if any, what sort of radios were available for the dodge trucks?

Anything like this?

Good job Ryan.

The delete plate is a little hard to press out without bending the metal edge around the dash area. I used a small grinding disc in the Dremmel to take the edge off the back of the plate under the dash. I think the job just requires a bit of care. I made a template for the knob holes from an old plastic ice cream container lid. I used a staged drill bit to get the holes to size, I think they ended up about 14mm. I'm yet to mount the radio in the truck, but I think that I have the right place to drill the hole in the firewall now. The right-hand drive factor makes it a little more difficult to install the radio as the pressed out section of the firewall is not present in our trucks (well it is - but on the left hand side).

Be sure to let me know how you get on.

Thanks for that Bob. I looked at the same info with great interest a while ago. I'm sure that it will come in handy. I plan to install my radio soon, but have plenty of other things to attend to first. I am hoping to have my truck registered this year by October. The trade plate comes in handy for short trips now though!

Thanks again
