Radios?

I once knew of a site that had replacement radios for all vehicles with the old school radios that had the ***** on them. These radios had a LED display and you could plug your mp3 player into it.

I cannot seem to remember what the website was called though, does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Check out Stangnet there might be some info there, there's a fairly large market for this style of radio in the early Mustangs/Falcons too.

I know custom auto sound makes them as well, but I've heard alot of bad things from their radios, plus I myself have had one that burned up the first time I used it and they said it was my fault. I think all the 80-86 radio hold can accept a din type with an installation bezel, might not be factory looking, but it can be done without wrecking anything. And don't get a bezel adapter from Walmart, they don't fit quite right.

Denis Carpenter and Jeff's Bronco Graveyard have bezels listed as coming soon in there latest catalogs. The 85 and later ones will except din radios and you wont have to cut the panel up. Now to wait for them to come. You can also try to look on ebay, junkyard, craigslist, etc.

So has anyone had good luck with Retrosound? Custom autosound seems to be a bust.

I sure as hell hope so. I would not want to make a custom radio mount just for it to screw up on me.
