79-83 Radio and Ashtray
I am looking for several nice parts for my 82 pickup. Stock am/fm radio, Clean ash tray, possibly a dash pocket, I know the pockets are hard to come by, so any ideas on a good substitute.
Thanks in advance,
Brad

Just a FYI, I installed a Retro Sound Zuma radio in my truck. It fits in the stock location and looks great. Has a throw back look with modern technology - 4 channel, aux input, RCA inputs, USB input, digital display and presents. Depending on how original you want to go, I would recommend it. You'll need a faceplate adapter kit, but I have a part number for that. If you go this route, let me know and I'll dig up the part number.
Here's mine installed:


Can't help you out on the rest of the parts, but don't quit! They are out there any you'll eventually find them. I struggled finding the same exact parts too. Good luck!

The shaft spacing is a little narrower on the 1979-1981 radios and won't clear the plastic bezel properly so stick with the 1982-1983 radio with the wider shaft spacing. The dash pockets are rare but do come up on ebay and also the cassette decks and 8 tracks that would go where the pocket would be, keep checking.
