Radio Mount

Post by GreaseMonkey »

I want to install a cdplayer in my 68 and I saw this thing on the "Did You Know?" banner that said you could use a volvo bezel or something like that. Does anyone have any insite on, pictures of parts? Please let me know.

(quote)You can install a CD player into your truck's slanted dash by using a DIN radio installation kit #99-9222 for a '75-'93 Volvo and flipping the mounting piece upside down and attaching it to the bent-back ears in your dash, allowing the stereo to sit perfectly horizontal in the dash opening.

Hi,

You can get the Volvo install kit at any Best Buy for about 16-18 bucks. I've installed one in my 68 and it worked out great. Bent the ears back and slid it in. I didn't attach the cage to the ears as it was pretty snug anyway. Mine sticks out a bit on the bottom, but not very noticable and I think it looks better out a little. Maybe one of these days I'll get to attaching it.
