    Now that the radiator is fixed, and hopefully the Auto Meter guages will be in soon? Have any of you bought the rear deck or they call it Package tray w/ speakers for $31.95. from Autokrafters. I would like to pull the original out and use one of these, are they any good and what size speakers should I buy. Will be putting in a CD player, I don't need the loudest system, just something that will work with two rear speakers.

    The rear deck behind the back seat is already cut-out for 6x9 speakers....Of course you can use different ones if you want to.

    Haven't bought the board from AutoKrafters (didn't need one) but I can tell you that it is made from 1/16" Masonite which can be obtained from any hardware store (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.) and it's CHEAP. Just use your original for a template, draw lines, and cut it out with a jig-saw. Probably cost you $8.00-$10.00 instead of $30 plus shipping.

    I put black speaker box cloth over mine using a can of spray adhesive. Then mounted some Alpine 6x9s....Looks very nice...
