hey, ive searched most threads w/ "dash kit" "metra" "scosche" but i just wanted to make sure before i buy my dash kit. my 1.5 din p77dh got stolen so im replacing it with a single din p860mp. i would really like to see some single din's installed with the following dash kits so if any of you have pics & know what dash kit you used they would be appreciated!
so far this is what i have found that will work in my blazer, does anyone know of any other dash kits that work? i found one w/ a pocket on ebay (3rd link) but it seems like the pocket is so small it would just be a pain to keep clean/get stuff out of

thanks

thanks but more looking for single din mounts in the factory 1.5 din openings. some of the dash kits look like they stick out quite a bit and other look flush. i cant tell how they will look from the product pictures so i want to see some examples installed. i know some people have to have pics of single din installed & can tell what dash kit was used

I got mine from crutchfield.com if you buy the radio from them they send you the mounting kit, wiring harness, antenna adapter, and installation guide for free. This is one of the only kits that I have seen that don't stick out
