Great thread! I'm also in the process of adding a new sound system to the truck. Anybody have advice on which speakers would give you the best results with the Retro Sound headunit?

I found the unit below for $7 and then sent it off to Gene Cochran in Nebraska (recommended by another FTE member) . He does old radio repair. He refurbed it, replaced the filters and installed an auxiliary jack for the fair price of $65 including shipping to and from. Here's is his contact info.

Gene's TV Repair

Now I can plug my iPhone/iPod into it and play through the radio. I don't have a picture of it installed but it worked out great.
You sir have inspired me. Going to pnp right now to get mine half off. It will be $5ish.

This is the one I got then I waited and ordered the face plate that I wanted. They were only $10.00 to $15.00
I got the Retrosound Malibu, but just realized I need a faceplate. I would love to see what you got and how it looks?
