Installing the Kenwood radio (din 1) looks to be a tight fit and a tricky mounting, hopefully with little cut out on the dash black surround moulding.
It can be cut to accommodate a DIN radio, but the trick is how to cover the old screw holes (or shaft holes, I don't recall) from the factory radio. I originally routed out the factory faceplate bezel to surround the DIN mounting cage. Here's how that one came out.

I later swapped that out for a Pioneer head unit and I let a pro install it. He used some generic backing plate to cover the original gaps, and I'm not too crazy about that. Sorry, I don't even have a picture of it.

Got to figure out my speaker solution, keeping it simple and out of the way.
I highly recommend the 6.5" front speakers I have. They're Pioneers, and I think the spacer ring is only 1/2".

I had some custom enclosures made and added 2 8" subs behind the seat. I don't have good photos of those.

Was wondering if an aftermarket heater hose suppler provides the heater hose with the bends like my original?
Not aftermarket, but there's a guy on the IsuzuPup.com site who can get factory hoses. He usually has them in stock. He goes by "JLEMOND".
