Same here. I also used 100-minute cassettes, like this as some CDs had more tracks; note that I typically edited out tracks I didn't like, and sometimes I made my own "custom" albums, like my ultimate "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" soundtrack.


Action film soundtracks are my specialty, and films like "Adventures of Robin Hood", "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", "Taras Bulba" contain over an hour of music.

Ecstasy of Gold from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" is used on Modelo beer TV commericials, and plays at the Bellagio Hotel fountains.

I’ve been searching on eBay but haven’t had much luck yet. My initial thought was put an aftermarket cassette deck in but it would need to mount below the climate control because the stock radio in the truck is in the lower din and it seems significantly smaller than most head units. That’s what lead me to considering the RX7 unit because it looks like it would take up that whole lower pocket.

No equalizer, but would this work?

When I first installed a cassette stereo into my 1988 (in 1995), I bought an install kit which had plastic pieces to fill in the gaps in the stock console.
