Stereo mounting bracket? Help!

chilly_bill · 05-19-2008, 12:57 PM

'91 pickup. The head unit in my truck is an aftermarket unit. I'm replacing it (it's b.. b... broken). The old one was hack job'd in. Are there brackets to hold the head unit in place? I had a '97 Corolla with shaped sheet metal brackets that bolted in to the head unit and then in to the center console, it worked great. How does this truck one work? Help!!
Thanks.

I'm not positive, but it should. That's the only way that it could be kept securely in place.

Hmm. that looks identical to my old Corolla. It's different than my truck though. Any other ideas? My truck only has single DIN.

I had to buy the brackets. A good install kit would be the way to go
