if your on a budget and still want a pretty good cd deck i would just get one from a pawn shop, they have good deals and usally you can get them to throw in some speakers they have have too. all and all might cost about 150 compared to 300-400 new. and you can just do some cutting and fitting to make it fit, reciprocating saw works great for that by the way ;) i helped my buddy do this in his 77 stepside and it worked out great, just had to find the right install kit with the big face plate thing to cover the stock gap on top and bottom. hope this helps.

I had one of these setups in my truck until I redid the whole truck.  it was a good stereo and sounded nice

The set I used to have cost about $100, this ones $150 but if you search around you may find one of these sets.  if you do take the manufacturer's part number and hunt ebay, etc for it.  may get it real cheap.   I got like a $350 head unit in mine and i got it for around $150 by hunting all the internet deals.  i don't remember where though.

hey just thought i would add if anyone wants ANY kind of stereo stuff online you should check out onlinecarstereo.com they have literally every brand and product you could ever want, and alot of their stuff have reviews by people who have the product. great site, great prices. oh P.S. i have had tons of different car stereos and i would say stay away from sony, and clarion, sony is just low quality and clarions interface is hard to navigate and lacks alot of features. i only use pioneer but some people dont care for them, alpine is always good, but tend to get really hot so only install in spacious areas, panisonic is probably the best brand belive it or not, i used to do high end a/v installations and thats all we ever used. simple, fully featured, and good price points. hope that helps you make a selection. good luck, let us know how it turns out! and if you want new speakers diamond are the best, by far. (buy them and you'll blow people away, lol)

Hey guys had a question, whats a good aftermarket Stereo/radio to put in a 73 chevy truck that would fit in the dash? I am looking to not spend a bunch of money but would like one with either a cd player or one that even has a port for an mp3 player. If anyone had any ideas that would be great, thanks.

I know this is out of the price range but I just got one for my 83 and think its the best option.
