Wonder what the wiring harness looks like on some of those dash hacks.
I agree it is your truck. I understand why lots of guys mod their trucks for safety reasons or just personal taste.
I think a bone stock truck will hold it's value lots longer in the years to come just because it's stock. Whenever I have purchased and old truck that's the first thing I look for. I just don't want to purchase someone else's basket case. With a stock truck you know what your getting.
We as "slick" truck people add power steering, power disk brakes, tilt steering columns, drop beams, electronic ignition, small block engines, ect to improve driveability. I look at a good stereo as an improvement to the driveability of a vehicle also.
amen. in the pic i just posted...you can see a wire nut.
That was how my harness looked when I bought my truck. One of the first purchases I made was a new harness. I replaced the wires in my truck front to back. It was a lot easier than tracing down the issues, and replacign ne by one.
I WILL do the research, but my truck came with a hole in the dash. What does a period radio look like? I want to keep the truck looking as original as possible, without compromising safety.
I have pics of an original uncut dash from a '66 F100 Custom Cab that I saved when I cannibalized it for parts in the fall of 2016, but I do not subscribe to any of the picture hosting sites.
If someone wants to host them, PM me an email address, and I'll fire them off to you.
**This cab also had an aftermarket under-dash pod with a Pianola brand Radio in it. Pianola radios were made in Japan. I see no makers mark(s) on the pod, but it's stamped steel.
With today's technology, this can be about as simple as you want to do it. I don't have a radio in any of my old vehicles. I use my iPhone to play music and I throw a Ryobi rechargeable battery powered Bluetooth speaker on the floor. No hacking and it takes seconds to install with no wires...
