- In this video Kevin Tetz shows you how to upgrade the audio system in a classic truck, particularly a 1973-1987 Chevy/GMC truck, to a RetroSound Model 2 system. This model will fit almost any vehicle without any dash cutting necessary, and provides modern features like bluetooth connectivity, four channel 25 watt amp and two USB inputs.
This installation requires basic hand tools and some soldering equipment. First, Kevin disconnects the battery and disassembles several pieces from the cab to gain access to wiring. Then he installs the speakers, amp and additional pieces of this project before reassembling the cab.

More 73-87 Chevy pick up videos please🤠
I second this!
Putting a subwoofer in an old truck is a great way to find new rattles. Never forget to put a fuse in the power wire next to the battery that goes to your amplifier's. If not it's a good way to burn your truck down
haha! Exactly. Who wants to be that douche?
Most modern amps have a built in fuse
@@give-nofacts420 not the amplifiers I use, either way you still need a fuse in your power line next to the battery
@@K-Effect if the amp gets hot or overcharges it will pop the fuse on the amp. Also the same for powered subs, as long as your wiring is good it shouldn't "burn to the ground".
@@swiftlyswiv If anything happens to that power wire running from the battery to your amplifier. If it gets cut, warn through, pinched etc. it’s going to ground out, and that power wire is going to get very hot like a coil on a toaster and start a fire. That’s one of the main reasons why you need to put a fuse right next to the battery. If your amplifier has fuses on it that won’t stop that from happening.
Holy crap - what a throw back. Silver Dollar City!!!
Too Many changes in the speech audio. It's very distracting. But great video
i never under stood why some people was so uptight about modding/cutting the dash for a good stereo ! But Some had rather buy over priced junk to get that crappy factory look ! but bigger & better speakers is a must in them old trucks ! i always just modded mine to fit any regular High end stereo & That was that But i always had trouble getting good speakers to fit because i am about 6'1 or so and my seat has to be all the way back..i cant drive if im setting on the wheal..lol. !
I just see that usb cable getting tangled up on the break pedal like something out of FINAL DESTINATION... yikes. Also, if you know anything about acoustics, this configuration makes zero sense... Must sound as though you have duct taped a pillow with a baby on top over your speaker in the basement.They might be great mechanics at LMCTruck, but they clearly know nothing about sound. No disrespect ti LMCTruck, but I would need to hear this to have any faith. In life.
LMC is the way to go. All its competitors are either too costly or too vague with their products.
How bout a video on carpeting the trek
If the Amp is drawing power even when the truck is off, won't that drain the battery fairly quickly?
Do you have the seat ALL THE WAY back?
Anyone have a usb stick? Maybe I’ll be able to download some songs off of Napster or Limewire
Felicitaciones eres un genio verdadero que lo sabes hacer muy bien saludos desde Quito Ecuador
All you need is knowledge and an attitude.
I generally agree with everything this guy does... but this is crazy.. the 2 full range speakers behind the seat are ridiculous..
Are you still not shipping to Africa?
Hi Ruben, we ship to parts of Africa. Please email us with your inquiry at customercare@longmotor.net
Ill take that 8track off your hands..
Was this video reloaded on TH-cam
Will this work on a ford 48 f1?
Screw that I'd leave the 8 track upgraded my 89 dodge with one
It would be great to have the 8 track plus bluetooth or a 3.5mm jack. Use the phone or Dad's old mixtapes.
@@JamesWillmus Cassette to 8track adapter + cassette audio cable OR cassette Bluetooth adapter.
Or even permanently remote mount a bluetooth speaker with remote and modify it to run to an amp,
or just several external speakers.
It's just more steps to the same final result as installing any "modern" head unit/combo. (imo of course)
I realize this is kind of late but I do believe there is a company on that refurbishes eight track players and even tapes and then there is another gentleman in California that adds Bluetooth to them
I really enjoyed the video. I have a 69F100. Do you have a distributor and installer in the Pennsylvania area? Also how does this not drain the battery if it needs constant power even with the key off? Thanks
They draw very little without accessory power running to them...just to keep the clock memory I believe
I e watched this like 5 times and can’t find that wire harnes on your website can you help me tag me so I see
Hi Timothy, we no longer offer that harness. Sorry about that.
U suck.
Could you add the speakers to the original radio?
No
I wish Kevin was my neighbor. So I could cut his lawn for advise with my build. Lmao
I got one of those Retrosound radios they only last about 5 years, they are junk!
How much all this cost ?? I got a 1989 dodge d150 that I need a new system also I live in Georgia ...

Hey guy I guess y'all never heard of a bluetooth amp and nothing would even had to be seen
Oh man, I have that stereo…but I didn’t put it in like that! Also added a kill switch cause it drained my batteries
what the name of the song when he tested it?
Sorry we do not have that information.
LMCTruck LMAOOO yall posted the video tho
I mean where can I buy the system?
crutchfield
Where are can I buy that system? I really need it and it must be shipped to Namibia
When can we see stuff fir 73-79 fords
Ford videos coming soon. Be on the lookout!
Is there a website I can go to get these parts
Any video for 70s fords f100??
Is the USB port able to charge phones?
Hello Erik. You should be able to charge phones. USB inputs (Motor 2A, Motor 2DAB, and Motor 4HD only) are located
at the rear of the Radio Motor. The USB cables must be routed during
installation to a convenient and accessible location for connecting USB
devices
Will these fit in a 68 c10 with the gas station behind the seat
No because the gas station is way too big :)
Incredible video
What amp is that ?
Can I do this to a 67 to 70 Chevy c10 sidestep
Yes you can.
Could you please do a video on how to put the vent window glass into the metal frame

Hope this can help you Jonah Porterfield.
@@Lmctruck1 BAD WEBLINK
I have a 64 C10 any audio parts available? Kick panels and such?
Why didn't this address the in cab gas tank like at all? Lol
Because the truck doesn't have an in-cab gas tank.
@@6digitz lots from this era did
@@tacobagcharlie9298 I believe 1972 was the last year of that. This truck appears to be from the mid-late 80's
@@6digitz not talking about just chevy. My 77 ford has an in cab tank. My old 75 powerwagon did too.
Watch some 5star audio install TH-cam videos. Then feel shame for the job you did.
Great videos... I must be on the LMC GM, Chevy Truck channel. How do I get to the LMC Ford truck channel. All you GM guys go ahead, I know I'm begging for it. It just gets old. Maybe the Dennis Carpenter channel is one I'm looking for.
More Ford & Dodge videos coming soon. Stay tuned!
Do they have stock radio options? I prefer just to have a basic am/fm radio with a single speaker in the dash.
Hi Daniel, we don't have any stock radio options but we do have overlays for our aftermarket units that can help retain that vintage look. Check out our website.
You didn't show the seat going back into the truck, and I tend to think that you had a helper for that. I recommend having a couple of cheap, soft movers' blankets like Harbor Freight sells to cover the speakers as the seat goes in. I would be an unhappy camper if I gouged any expensive part with the seat mount(s).
It's funny you say that. I was switching out my rotten old seat for a better one and I pretty much threw the new one in singlehandedly. Neighbors were looking at me crazy.
The worst part is seat bracket going straight into the speaker cone 😂😂😂😂
THIS GUY SEEMS UNCOMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
Kevin you lost pretty much all your viewers under 40 when you talked about 8-track. They don't have a clue what that is. I know what they are and I am 35 I know I am weird.
im 16 and my truck has 8 track. bunch of my buddys do to, its still a thing all ages know what they are
Look at this old ass boomer thinking people dont know about older technology just because we didnt grow up with it. I'm 17 and own a record player and vinyls so stfu.
Bro I’m 14 and my truck has an 8 track that I used to use until it broke and most of our vehicles still use cassette tapes
I'm only 6 years old and I have an 8track in my truck
My first three cars had 8 tracks and I'm 25! Too bad one of them worked and plugging a phone into a 3.5mm is more reliable and easier.
We only have great options because LMC supplies them! Thanks!
