Does the 84 F150 only have the one speaker in the front?

 

i think it depends on the package, my 86 xlt lariet has three, one in dash and one in each door. i have another 86 xl or custom (what ever you call it) that only has one in the dash

 

I had one in the dash, 2 in the doors, and added boxes behind the seat when I upgraded the stereo to hear it over the tires.....

 

It's been a while since I checked but as well as I can remember, the 1984 F 150 had 3 audio options. Standard base configuration was an AM only receiver with one speaker under mid dashboard. Next step was a AM-FM stereo tuner with speakers in each door. Long cabs also had two speakers in the rear. Third step was AM-FM-cassette stereo with same speaker set-up as step 2.

Broncos may have had the premium sound system available in 1984. AM-FM-cassette with seperate amplifer and better speakers.

Yea, I don't think 3 speakers was factory. My truck has am/fm with the speakers in the doors, but there is no speaker in the dash, just the little holes!

 

Same here. 84 F150 XL AM/FM, 2 speakers in the doors, none in the dash.

my thought is my truck probably came with an am radio, so only the dash speaker, then someone added a stereo, and added door speakers, I trashed all, and overbuilt a 400 watt system so I could hear it over the tires

 

mine had one in dash and maby on doors but don't know the factory is still in there becuase the screws are wasted. f350 xl or custom

 

The reason I ask is because I need to replace mine. I am having a problem with my radio. It is the original one. I have to turn it on hundreds of times before it actually powers up. I cant seem to figure out were or how to take out my old one....it is in that whole dash unit.

 

Presfam4:

If the radio you are referring to removing is in a 1984 F-150 it is relatively easy to get out and reinstall another one. It can all be done from the front. Chilton manual has directions.

If you want to try to keep the original radio you can get some aerosol contact cleaner like De-Oxit at Radio Shack and spray it into the switch area. Sometimes the contacts are just dirty from 20 years of exposure. If that doesn't help the switch is probably worn out.
