Did you get the dual speaker front kit? I love it. Instead of the one crappy speaker, you get two nice small high quality speakers that you can wire for true stereo. Mine came with the bracket that bolted right up like the stock speaker did.

Thank you sir, I'll give it a whirl

Yes, once the radio is put, you can replace the speaker as long as your arm and body can do the required contortions and hokey-pokey dance.

The 68 panels didn’t seem to fit very well but I did find screw holes that seem to be for a 68 style panel, I just made up my arm rests, got some foam from Joanns. Will try to install soon.

Finally getting around to putting some tunes in my wife's 68 (non-AC). I've got all the parts on the way (head unit, amp, 6X9s in enclosures going behind the seats on the floor, amp kit, wires, and a super cool dual dash speaker replacement. Here's the million-dollar question for you cats that have done this/got the T-shirt. What are the steps to access/replace the dash speaker? Of course, I'll have the head unit and ash tray out to start... Will that be enough opening/access to get to the old dash speaker? Thank you. r/RJ
