98 1/2 ton needs CD player
hey all, I just bought a 98 1/2 ton and it's only got a tape player in it. Ick. All I have are CD's. I want to keep the interior appearance as close to stock as possible because i am taking the truck to college next year, and I'm a little worried about security. I figure if it looks stock, it will deter thieves. Plus I like the factory CD players. I'm either going to bite the bullet and get a factory one, or try to find one that someone changed out for a CD changer or a different head unit. what do you guys reccommend if I don't go factory?

yeah you can get a changer to fit the stock setup, but you'll pay as much for that as for an aftermarket head and changer
I'd suggest going aftermarket, and taking the faceplate with you
the amp in most factory heads is too weak to sound good

myself id just go with an aftermarket deck, doesnt have to be anything fancy, just make sure it has a detachable faceplate. then when u go anywhere, take the faceplate off, put it in the case (most come with one, but u can buy 'em anyway), and put it in your pocket. but thats my opinion.

Great, solid, dependable decks. I like Pioneer, dont get me wrong. But Alpine > Pioneer IMO. I like my tunes, i would definitely upgrade from stock.
