Hi all,

I need some help. I'm about to order a new head unit for my 87 GT, but I want to make sure I don't have any fitment issues.

Does anyone have a stock radio that they can measure quickly? Specifically, I need the depth. I'm trying to choose from a few different units from Crutchfield, and I want to make sure they mount flush to the dash.

Thank you in advance!

Tim

If I remember correctly, you may need to remove a rear mount, inside the radio opening and it is pretty deep, after that. Sorry, can't remember the depth.

The one out of my 88 is 5-1/4" from the back to the front of the faceplate.

Looking for direct fit.

There is a metal triangle rear mount that can be cut out and then you can get a good depth, the mount only works on stock stereos anyway so It really is not needed.

You don't even need to cut it out. All you need is a long, flat blade screwdriver and a hammer. Stick the end of the screwdriver under the metal tab and smack it once or twice with the hammer. The bracket will pop out. You may slightly damage the plastic but you don't need it back there anyway. Beats the heck out of completely dismantling the center console to try and get a Dremel back there.

Thanks everyone for the info - most likely I'll remove or bend the back bracket out of the way (thanks Monkeyman!)

Ordered a new head unit - probably won't get a chance to install for a couple of weeks though...pics to follow.

Thank you all again!
