Double din install???

Is it even possible? I'm looking to purchase one of these trucks and it'd be awesome if I could use my current radio in it. I've searched all over google and haven't found anything.

I know the factory opening is a single din, but has anyone modified it to accept a double din?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think its possible without completely redoing the dash layout.

You would most likely be better off selling the double din and buying a good touch screen fold out

Remove the muffler & you won't need a radio.
