what will work?
I have a 93 full size silverado, and im looking to buy a nice cd reciever for it. My questions are:
Will anything fit in the stock mount from the tape player?
Will I need to do any extra wiring or cutting?
and
Do I need to take out the AM/FM radio when I put the CD reciever in, or can both stay in

hey bud,
im not for sure about this but i think your going to have to take the tape player out and put in a new CD player....and on top of it you might have to run a few new wires, or atleast i had to when i worked on my friends older car when i put a cd player in his. i think your best bet is to go to a bigger store like Best Buy www.bestbuy.com and look at what they have because they also do installations fairly cheap as well

One of the guys I work with has a silverado and he has his stock stereo still in...He just mounted his new stereo on the dash (lower right) of the stock stereo and disconnected the stock radio.

thanks for all the input, i've decided to just take out the tape player and mount the cd player in there, but I cant find any mounting kits for a 93 blazer!! Still looking though

I went to a local electronics store the other day and got a stereo mounting kit...it fits Gm vehicles from like 88-04....It aslso came with different stereo plates (flush, 1/4 inch, etc.) for only $15. It came in a big bag.

yeah, im sure there is a mounting kit for it, if there isnt there is something wrong because they have to make one for nearly every common car here

They make a mounting kit for just about every car or truck from 1990 and up. Just got to your local car audio store and ask them for one.

do what i did for my 89 grand prix (they dont make kits for that model cause theres no room for an aftermarket HU). Soooo.....i just cut some wood with a DIN sized hole in it and screwed it to the dash. or you can by the generic HU holder. its just a piece of plastic that you can screw to anything to hold the HU.

RE: what will work?
in order to do that deck install....the factory has to be removed.....then use a Metra 70-1858 harness to give you the wires....and a metra 40gm10 antenna adapter.....and i think the kit will either be a metra 99-4544 or 99-3300.
