94 head unit

[94K1500KBAR]

I have a 94 ecsb obs with the factory stero above the heat/ac controls. Right now I have a flip out head unit in the center of my dash w/ the factory stereo still in it taking up space. I want to remove the factory unit and replace it with cusotm switch panel(not the issue) but the flip out unit in the center ofmy dash is godly ugly. It was installed when I got the truck. It sticks out a good 3 inches and doesnt fill the hole in the dash on either side by about half an inch either side. Does anyone know the proper way to install a head unit in that same spot that would be flush mount? Do I have to buy a dew dash panel that is made for that? Any clues would be helpful thanks!

it sounds like you dont have the correct center dash piece for head unit intalls.

You need an install kit for a '94 Chevy pickup (or other models) which they sell at Walmart for about $18 also check Best Buy because they might have one too. If you don't want either of those options, check out www.crutchfield.com

I see! So it comes with a complete new panel too?

I decided to get a black one instead of matching red. You replace the entire center, it's extended out so you can fit a stereo there.
