I got these goodies last month. What do this
and this.
and this.
Yes, I cut the dash.. sue me.
Curse you non standard radio opening!
And I'm anti wood grain... so I found some engine turned vinyl that I liked..
There is. I am anti wood grain.. and I liked the engined turned pieces available on the later cars... but, with the radio, and the custom gauge panel, they wouldn't work.. so I tried this. ------------- Paul 77 XR7 460/C6/3.00:1 *SOLD* 78 XR7 523/C6/3.5:1 79 F100 460/TKO500/3.25:1 'I also have some left over potatoes-I understand you can generate electricity from them'- Foote500 |

Very nice. Moving in the same direction with my Ranchero. I am stuck on what to do about the radio and it looks like you have hit on it. Is that DIN box supplied with the Kenwood?  ------------- -jwk- |

Yup..
What did you use for the driver side vent and your gauge cluster? Not sure if you saw mine, but, looks like we did exactly the same thing.  I like yours.. looks good. ------------- Paul 77 XR7 460/C6/3.00:1 *SOLD* 78 XR7 523/C6/3.5:1 79 F100 460/TKO500/3.25:1 'I also have some left over potatoes-I understand you can generate electricity from them'- Foote500 |

Amazing how close we did that! Was really surprised to see it. I found that vent on one of the AC sites. Maybe it was http://www.hotrodair.com/pg3a.cfm - http://www.hotrodair.com/pg3a.cfm
Tried to match the appearance of the VDO gauge bezels.
Tell me more on the Kenwood installation. Been waiting to figure out an audio solution before I finish the bottom part of the dash..

Basically the radio was what you see in the pics.
fill the top of the rectangle, pop in the din plate, etc.

What I really wanted to know is if the DIN box was included with the Kenwood. ------------- -jwk- |
