I really don't wan't to.. But.. Tape decks (good ones) are hard to find.. and shipping to Alberta from LMC is crazy for a price. Any ideas on something different?? Leave the deck there as a clock and hide something under the dash and use my iphone for music storage?? I'm open to ideas...

Score.. found a new tape deck for the ole girl.. 25 bucks.. will run two speakers.. Its all i need.. No cutting the dang dash.. Any of you in Canada looking I found it at PA.. cheap but it works.. All it needs to do is play some rock and roll and some county tunes while out sawing wood or chasing cattle.

Score of the decade.. I found a like new factory delco tape deck. today i found the plugs for the back of the deck.. I tested it out and it sounds amazing.. No cutting dash and it is all stock.. Now.. for the un stock part. I will be making some speaker mounts for the ends of the dash that my dash does not have. But it will take a little bit of work. I wish i had some 48 hour days for these jobs.
