That looks like a damn good audio system in that truck 88... I love the look of that truck. What are you averaging for mpg's?

That light looks nice John. I took a better look at mine today, it's in pretty sad shape.

I agree Matt... my dad said he has an idea on how to make a gasket. I'll keep you updated. I think it's going to look way better than the ugly clear one

I have an older JVC unit, love it. I have a thread somewhere in the appropriate audio area or you can look in my profile for the thread.

I darn near didn't get my old broken one off. I don't want them to leak. Clean up is a bit tougher too. :o

My buddies girlfriend just called me. I guess they got a bunch of friends going to Myrtle Beach for a week in August and asked me to go. I haven't been on a vacation for about 6 years.
