what to do about a bouncing stereo

my truck has a six inch lift and i bounce around everywhere so i was wondering what i could do to make the stereo stay in place because everytime i hit a bump it shuts off....

its a 78 if that makes any difference

oh and i also want an original steering wheel because the one on it looks like i stole it from an arcade game. so how much can you find those for? maybe the junk yard?

Ford radios ground through the case, run a ground wire from the case to a ground point on the chassis. Support the back of the deck as well. Plumber's strap gets used a lot here.

Costa Mesa... Look up Redmanbob in the FE forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum51/
or the '61 to '66 forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum40/
He lives in C-M, knows the salvage yards, and can probably tell you if there's one available. LOL

Edit: OH YEAH! WELCOME TO FTE!!!!!
