Are there any good brands of kick panels with speaker enclosures for the '73-80 trucks with factory a/c? That will allow the parking brake to be used? The ones I got from USA1 say they're for '73-87, and they look absolutely nothing like the kick panels I've got now. Unfortunately, mine are too far gone to restore to a level that is acceptable for my brand new interior, so I need new ones. Other companies show kick panels with speakers for '73-79 trucks that look very similar to the ones I've got now, but they're slightly different. I just want something that will fit my '77 GMC with factory a/c without any cutting and cussing. Any US companies making these? Or would I be better off just getting used OEM ones on eBay and putting the speakers in the doors? Here's a pic of the ones that came with the truck when I got it. I saw the TPD Hifi ones in the other post. That's a bit expensive for my liking, but if it comes down to it, I'll get those if they fit properly. I'm not an audiophile, I just like to hear my fiddles and banjos. Thanks. Oh, here's a pic of what came in the truck. The section that gors around the a/c on the passenger side is slightly different on these than on the other ones I'm seeing online.

I have some in an 84, they definitely don't fit the 80's. Not terrible quality, but you have to use shallow mount speakers.

Had to modify to fit, I also don't have a parking brake, and I had to relocate the inside hood release. I have em because I'm putting absolutely zero wiring in my doors.
