Is there a place in the college station/bryan area where i can buy and have them install an aftermarket stereo head unit/face place for the 86 f-150? I figured we would have a Cartoys or something down here but i couldn't find anyplace online. Thanks

I like Audio Video. There is Jacks in Bryan or of course Circuit City or BB.

crutchfield? If it weren't an 86 I would help you out, need a dash cut?

Audio Video seems to be the best quality around here FWIW.

i don't have a problem putting in the head unit myself but its the trim around the head unit that fills in the gap around the stock unit is the problem, i just don't know where to get it, and they usually come as a package with the face plate plus installation. so Simplicity.

it is larger then 1 DIN and smaller then 1.5 DIN. you will just have to live with the small gap.... i have never seen an adapter. you take the metal case and bend the tabs out to hold it in place.
