20:08 Wow they really planned all that shit out to match those updated cyan digital gauges I'm always hesitant to get. Hands down best video on the internet regarding this subject, and NICEST aftermarket interior. Great color combo. I like it better than my original Luxury package!
Thanks! Much appreciated, yeah it’s a great system, turned out nice, very pleased with it. Actually though my interior is all original paint and all, only thing I replaced was the instrument cluster bezel because the chrome was faded, but thanks though I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.
This is a great video! Thanks!!! I am just about to get mine installed in my 1978 F250, and was wanting to find a good video walkthrough. This was perfect!
You’re very welcome! Thank you, much appreciated. That’s awesome, I’m glad it was helpful and you enjoyed the video. Good luck on your install, and thanks for commenting and watching.
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed and hope it helps. Nice truck too by the way, I have 77 4x4 also, first 4x4 I’ve ever owned, I gotta say it’s pretty cool. Good luck on your install and thanks for watching.
@@FastFords289 I watched your disc brake conversion video but on one of later videos you now have Wilwood brakes? Why did you switch and how do they compare? Thats my next upgrade.
@@grant3049 yeah i actually meant to do a video on that. I was having so many problems with the master power brake kit that I just cut my loses and ordered Wilwood which is actually what I wanted from the start but they didn’t offer a kit for my car that came with the booster and everything. So I still have the master power brake booster and master cylinder and proportioning valve but Wilwood disk brake rotors and calipers and lines and they work great! Couldn’t be happier. They install the same way as the master power caliper but they’re aluminum so they’re lighter and the pads fit better and just an all round great product so I highly recommend the Wilwood stuff, I wish I had just went that way from the start, I’d just had to get the booster and all from somewhere else but you live and learn. Hope this helps, and thanks for commenting and thanks for watching.
@@FastFords289 Cool man thanks for the info. Probably going to order the kit in a couple weeks also ordering the matching Wilwood master cylinder to go with it. Gotta get rid of these drums!
@@grant3049 no problem, glad I could help, yeah I don’t blame you, going to disk is definitely better, not to mention if you have some aftermarket wheels and seeing that Wilwood logo popping through them looks really cool too. Good luck on the build and thanks for watching.
I ordered it from retro sound radios online, I ordered the radio and speakers from there. Just go to retrosound.com should pull right up. Cool truck and Good luck on the install and thanks for watching.
My truck have & aftermarket radio, probably previous owner installed & cut frame, now I going to investigate what's under dashboard. Your video let me know how to install a new classic radio with latest technology. Make more videos of classic truck. Saludos desde Houston, Rene Jimenez
@@renejimenez1946 yeah that happens a lot, you can check eBay for a new frame, they’re on there Al the time and easy to get. I appreciate it and glad I could help you, I plan on making more in the future, good luck on the install and thanks again for commenting and watching.
Hey quick question so I actually bought the same radio… So from what I am understanding… Do the blue,red, and yellow wires connected to the radio need to be connected to the black one in the truck?
So I can’t remember what each color wire does on the retro sound radio, but I believe the blue is for an electric retractable antenna so I just tucked mine out of be way and tapped it up. I know one of be others is a power wire then the other should be a memory wire, so your power wire connects to the black wire in the truck and the other would connect to a constant 12 volt power source for the memory. Now I have noticed that even disconnecting the battery the radio still maintains the memory of your settings so you could connect both the power wire and the memory wire together and it’ll probably work just fine. Hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions and I’ll try to help if I can. Thanks for watching.
I believe it would, retro sound sells amps and subs for their radios like mine so I’m sure it’d handle it no problem, I just didn’t buy one because I didn’t see it to be necessary in a single cab pickup. Those two box speakers are great and get real loud and clear even with all the windows down cruising down the highway. I will be doing an amp and subs in the Torino when I do that retro sound radio in the future.
LMC truck, but they don’t make the face plates individually anymore, they’re all made together in the bezel. I had my original face plate I used to set the positioning of the knobs. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
I found a factory plug under the dash with constant power. I just took a multimeter or a test light and checked plugs to find one. Thanks for watching.
@@AtomicSkunk347 that’s great, you’re very welcome, glad you liked the video and was helpful and that you were able to get your install completed. Thanks for watching.

@@Liz19967 you’re welcome, glad to help.
I'll keep my AM/FM Cassette in my '71.... besides I don't listen to the radio anyway.....
Do you think it can handle a heavy sound system?.such as a large amp and 2 subs?
I believe it would, retro sound sells amps and subs for their radios like mine so I’m sure it’d handle it no problem, I just didn’t buy one because I didn’t see it to be necessary in a single cab pickup.
