Hi all, it's my first job on my new project, I installed a Sony radio in my DX Y61 tray, and found it pretty straight forward. I soldered all joins, used heat shrink and taped up cables with black cloth tape. While I had the centre console off, I used my compressor to blow out any dust in the dash. I also removed the door panels and fitted new speakers, also an easy job. Whilst I had the door panels removed I installed new plastic sheet over the door skin for water protection. I then painted the inner door panels with clear resin to seal the door card itself. I thought about installing a double din radio with touch screen, however with the limited storage in the cab, I could certainly use the extra din space for sunglasses etc. I will install a UHF at some later stage, possibly overhead, but the cost of those overhead consoles are very expensive, perhaps I can make something if others can suggest ideas. The sound from my new radio is quite good, although I will consider installing sound deadening later on when the weather picks up, it's bloody freezing now as everyone in Victoria knows. Cheers for now, Frank
