tunes man... I need some tunes...soon
not there yet but thinking ahead.... wondering what's being used in 53-56 trucks for a sound system... don't need 1200 watts with double woofers... just some comfortably strong sound... with CD/DVD . Probably looking for a remote with head unit in panel under dash... educate me on options..
thanks

I dont want to carry CDs anymore so I bought one of these.
JVC KD-X220 (does not play CDs) Digital media receiver at Crutchfield.com
I plan on just using a memory stick for MP3s.

Just fyi I just bought a jvc could not get am on it went back and traded out for a pioneer can get some am on it. I don't listen much to am but would like it to pick up some. Most of the time it will be on siriusxm. The people that mostly buy the after market are not after am so that is just the way it is.

I don't hardly ever listen to the radio anymore (if you could here some of our local DJ's you'd understand). I do occasionally like AM when I trying to pick up a game or some such nonsense. As mentioned I'd look for something that would have both a USB port and an input jack so that you could either plug in a memory stick and/or an MP3 player.
I'm not sure what I'll do in my 49. I don't like the look of a modern radio in an old vehicle so whatever I end up doing will be hidden (inside glove box, under seat, in console, etc). Right now I don't have to worry, the old truck is so noisy that I can't hardly hear my MP3 while wearing headphones.....lol

Here's my cheapie solution. I have Pandora on my phone and use a USB powered speaker system. I listen to the music I like.
My truck is stock 6 volt, positive ground so I rigged up a power port using a dual cigarette type receptacles. It works decent but with my noisy truck it can be hard to hear. I also need to get a better speaker system. I saw a couple at the Verizon store that sound really loud and great sound but I'm still too cheap to cough up $200+ for one, for now I'll have to settle for my crappie $20 unit.
I personally like the suggestions offered already but I don't want to install a modern system in my truck.

The Bose Mini is great! And you can do Pandora on your phone and make your own station with any music you want. And you can just take it inside when not driving and avoid theft and use it in your shop. The sound that little speaker puts out is incredible.

My truck was missing its radio when I got it. I found the carcass of one on Ebay. Got it pretty cheap, stripped out what was left on the chassis and mounted a small Ipod amp on it. Above it I mounted a dual stereo speaker. I was able to clean up the chrome on the face pretty good, I use the original on/off **** for power, the dial light lights up and it powers my Ipod in the glove box. There is one **** under the dash that I use for volume. It worked well too the last time I used the truck for any distance. Currently the truck is under going a restoration bit by bit.
