Double Din Radio Install?

[uneek1976]

Has anyone installed a double din radio in the dash of a gbody? If anyone has, can provide some detailed info and or some pictures of the install. I would really like to know how its done.

I don't see how you'd do it with out majory surgery to the dash. Seems like at the minimum you'd have to relocate your HVAC controls.

On my '87 I was in the boat that I wanted a nicer stereo but hate the look of aftermarket single DIN stereo's in the DIN and a half opening. I ended up just adding an MP3 wire splicing it directly to the amp in the stock head unit. Sounds great now but looks like the original tape deck! 🙂

I should be sized for a double din already, measure and make sure. IIRC the factory is D.Din

The factory radio size is a DIN and Half. Double DIN is too large.

The thing is that I'm not sure about how much cutting has to be done to the dash.
