1972 F100

I am looking for an overhead console for my truck. The console was plastic and housed two speakers compartments and had a compartment in the middle for the radio. About 15-20 years ago, JCWhitney carried this item but no longer. Does anyone know where I can get this now or something similar to it. I built a floor console and stuck a 2003 Dodge radio in it. Unfortunately my kids are bumping the radio. I did not want to cut my dash I just simply wanted it up and out of the way.

thanks,
rtw

rtw - unfortunately i can't help you with the console. HOWEVER, i had to say that my very first vehicle was a '75 f100. we put a hopped-up 302 with an automatic (!) floor shifter out of a pinto, torque thrust wheels, custom soft tonneau, and painted her a deep, wet, beautiful black. god i miss that truck!!!!!!

We sell a unit like that at West Michigan Power & Equip. stop by or call any (or us!) construction equipment dealership in your area- like Case, Deere, Cat, etc... I think this is what you're looking for:

LINK!

You could always junk the radio and install your own in the housing...

I've seen some posts in the recent past from guys that have installed the Highliner headliner. Had been discontinued for a while I think but LMC and some others carry it again now. On the bottom of the page here:Highliner

RTW, Check out LMC Truck. They have a headliner with four speakers and radio console that might suit your needs.

edit: (makz06, see that we were thinking alike.) Like makz06 said, check it out

I just put one in my 70 F100. Got it from LMC. I am real pleased with it.It's the full headliner with radio console and 4 speakers. The speakers come with it.
