Subject: GMC: STEREO UPGRADES
To any and all:
Now that we have discussed the air suspension leaks I would like some
info on my next step in the upgrading of my coach. THE STEREO! I have
the manuals for the coach but Would like to hear from some who have
done it. I have the old 8 track stereo and would like to upgrade to a
cassette with separate disc drive and new speakers.
Dear James; I have just changed the stereo in my '78 kingsley to a unit =
from and early 80's Caddy. It has cassette, AM, FM and a CB built in. =
It is a tight squeeze but it will fit. All of the knobs fit in the =
same holes and it looks like it came from the factory. It also has a =
clock. From the mid 76 year, I think, the stereo has 2 wires running =
back to the main stereo unit, so modern stereos will all work if they =
fit in the hole. Earlier years had one wire from the stereo to each =
speaker and then grounded each speaker to the body, so you would have to =
run a wire back to the stereo if you have and early model.
Thank You
