If you cut the hole for a 1.5 DIN used on the later models, locate a gauge bezel from an 89-91 - it will fit the radio exactly. The shape is a little bit different in the corner by the radio, but the metal dash was about the same except the bigger hole.

I've been giving quite a bit of thought to the weight that's going to constantly be on this truck. I thought about a coilover shock to help out and toyed with the idea of air bags even found the Firestone part number for the kit. The coilovers for square bodies are discontinued and the airbags are $320-$375 so just I was poking around the internet and saw a picture of what looked like a used set I then went on eBay to find that it was the set for my truck and I bought it for 75 bucks.

Helper bags, right? That should be fine.

When I said cut the dash, I meant single DIN. Your radio choices are all but endless at that point. You can get a CD player with USB in for $100.
DIN and a half- you might have 4 models to choose.
I'll wire it, but I think you're quite a haul from here (4hrs?).
