May as well. Seems several others jumped ship.

Getting harder and harder to find good parts at a decent cost..

Why not have both? Best of everything

Going to agree with this! Never can have to many IMO

Moved that 73/86 3/4 ton for $1200 to CL thread. Sure didn't want anyone to miss it who might be interested.

Wasn't intended for that, and I changed the link before you moved it....

Craigslist bastards!

So I'll put this back where it goes.


I'm calling in the morning. May have a new cab to mount this weekend.

 

[GreaseDog]

Sold the cab yesterday.

 

[HotRodPC]

Makes me wonder if I couldn't get $400 out of my good cab that don't need any work.

 

[Stroked]

I would say definitely if it has a title.

 

[HotRodPC]

Yep, Clean and Green in my name with matching attached VIN tag!!! Which Green just means it's a real title, not a junk title.

 

[Konas new ride]

400 easy.. if i was near ya that would lo longer be in your yard if you where selling it.. Dang....

 

[GreaseDog]

I bet I'd beat you there by at least several hours. What year is it?

 

[HotRodPC]

It's an 85 C20 Silverado 2wd Cab

That Craigslist ad looks like it has custom Deluxe 30 emblems on it. lol that would make people double think on my truck XD.

I really need those parts.

Not an audio expert but I work around a lot of it. One thing to pay attention to no matter what truck you go with is the RMS rating not advertised. RMS is a realistic power output rating that you are likely to see. Matching RMS output with RMS handling capability of speakers, subs etc. aids in having a good sounding system. Not all that goes into it, of course, but a good rule to follow. 6x9's are going to out perform 4x10's IMO. However, 6.5's do very well. I had a set of Alpine SPS600's and they are hands down my favorite speakers I have had. There is a built in capacitor that helps them not blow. I had 4 in an Altima at one time and it sounded like I had a small sub.

This sounds overplayed but you really get what you pay for with audio.

Another good tip is on the head unit. If you want really good sound you need to find a head unit with sound shaping capability and adjustable crossover. Basically a built in EQ. More than just Bass, Treble, Mid like on most units. When you can do time correction, cut off, slope etc it makes a huge difference on sound.

The Alpine CDA 9886 is a great unit.
