Does look sharp. When I ordered my 96, almost got a cassette deck put in. Glad I did not, it would look silly to a youngin now. I think I have a Johnny Cash tape around, with Folsom Prison Blues on it. Unfortunate I have nothing to play it on. But my ashtray light, and cig lighter still work in Chev after 24yrs.

This is what I did to my 94 Yukon gt... Never did take final photos as it was bought not even a day after I finished it. Had a wall of 6 12 jl subs and 6 1000 watt jl monos. 2 6.5 rf in each door and a 6.5 rf in each custom made kick panel.

They now make a double din center bezel (old tape player slot) under the double AC vents. I personally don't like it, looks too crowded and like a poorly designed afterthought (yeah I know that's exactly what it is) but the kits are all over eBay. My question is how in the world do you see/use it to change channels, turn it up, etc?

Since we're on the question though, I've seen/heard before about 1.5 din radios. Does anyone know if one of the smaller double din radios (like a 6.2") will fit in the dash-dash where the old radio went? Same as the OP, it's for an early (1993) Chevy.

Boss radios suck, real bad.. Had one, and will never own another. They make speakers sound horrible. Go with Kenwood or pioneer.. I have the Kenwood DDX6706S. It does Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Actually installed same unit in 3 of my cars, and it's been great.

Metra double din kit. They have two types. I got the one that replaces the entire bezel. Have to cut some material out inside the dash. And the radio can be programed to display whatever picture you want on start up

Who's truck is that? I've seen the picture posted a couple of times I was thinking of stealing the idea, but I wanted to see if any modifications to the bezel were needed. The listed specs say no, but I'd sure like to here from the person who did it before I buy the radio.

I dont know it was posted on one of the FB groups , I belong to . so I copied it LOL

I have made a single din dash kit work for a double din only thing is you need to get one of the thin double fins with out CD player I got this one from Amazon it has Apple car play and android auto and it works really good for the price I recently re made the kit with the proper color dash kit and wrapped side of the radio in black vinyl I can post a pic in day light if it will help in anyway
