Metra Electronics 87-99-3052 GM Truck 73-87 Din Conversion, Black

I got this to fix my dashboard radio spot because it was cut by a previous owner in 1982 GMC pick up. It did the job perfectly real easy installation. The new radio fits perfectly.

This kit worked very well for cutting out for fitment and installing a more modern radio system into an older truck.

Good design. Made of abs plastic. The inner is also abs or painted or colored not sheet metal that it looks like. Don't know how the abs will hold up to the sheet metal ears of the radio sleave.. it looks silver in Amazon photo. Listing add lists a cassette holder built in. Can't see where? Will need to provide extra support to the back of the radio. Good for laying out and cutting your din hole in the dash. Will also fit the 88-90 (Square Body style)Suburban which didn't change till 91 or 92.

This is a great alternative when the previous owner to your vehicle tries to install a stereo head unit and cut your dash apart with a chainsaw instead of the proper way. This really cleans it up and makes it look almost factory. Thank you for designing a good product.

Fit my 1983 Chevy K20 Scottsdale truck very nicely. Good quality. I used this template to change the standard radio mount location in my truck to accept a single DIN style radio. This template kit fit the dash exactly and provided an exact fit template to cut my dash and dash panel to a very clean exact fit DIN opening. The finished project looks great. It would be nicer if it was a metal template instead of plastic. But it did the job I needed and worked great.

The picture shows a metal back plate, it’s plastic. It’s flimsy, not as sturdy as metal. Buyer beware.

The dash on my 87 GMC had been badly hacked up by a previous owner trying to install a DIN style radio with poor results. Found this by total accident & figured there was nothing to loose by giving it a try & it works perfectly!People complaining about the backing plate being ABS plastic & not metal must just be looking for something to be complain about as it’s plenty sturdy & not at all flimsy. It’s the same material as the factory cluster bezel after all. Sure the picture shows a metal one, & should probably be updated, but the description clearly states made of ABS plastic. Also, the screw holes line up perfectly. Not sure why others have had trouble.The outer trim also fit great & the color & texture are spot on for the factory cluster bezel.All & all, I’m very pleased with the way the installation came out & would not hesitate to use this product again.
