My truck has a tape player now

Higher_Desire · 07-01-2003, 07:00 PM

Yeah. I've had my truck for about 2 years now, and I finally got a tape player!

It didn't have anything, but it had a spot where one could go (or so I thought). It has an amazing radio with great reception (for a Delco), but anyway, I'm getting off track. My dad got a new tape player radio for his van since his sucked, and he has a CD player he can hook up to it, and he still had the old radio. I wanted to try to put the tape player into my truck, and when I finally got his radio taken apart and the player out, it wouldn't fit in mine because where it would go had a big hunk of metal there. So I thought I'd change the frontplates where the metal was. That didn't work so well. I figured I'd have to wait longer. Then I had the brilliant idea to install his old one in my truck, but I didn't want the crappy reception. So I rebuilt (put back together) his and mine, and hooked his up to where mine was. I'm amazed I put it back together right and it still worked. :P So I went for a drive, and the reception was the same as with my radio! So I installed that one and it works great! I was going to get a new one a few months ago with a check my Grandpa sent me, but it got spent on other stuff. So now I have a well working radio with tape player in my truck, and I can buy a thing to use my CD player in it!

Very cool, HD. Nothing like hearing your favorite tunes while mobile. ROCK ON!

Nice, style my friend, that's cool.

Mind if you take me for a test drive?

:lol:

Now I gotta buy MOP, HC, and W Casette tapes! Some music store should have them.

My stereo is pretty crap and I can only play tapes, but the sound still comes out awesome, if we were living in the same country I would copy them for you but we don't.

That's awesome, Colin!! I'm with Dogstar, there's nothing like cruising around listening to your favorite tunes!! I bring my portable cd player with me all the time. If you have a portable player it probably came with a cassette tape to plug into the cd playe so that you can listen to your cds without having to buy MOP, HC and Weather on cassette.

Yeah, I wanted to buy a thing to do that to my portable, but then I don't get to buy more Creed stuff, and I use the player for other stuff, like when I go to the gym and stuff. Toting it around would be too much hastle.

I understand what you saying. I'm always toting mine around.

Gosh I remember my first tape player way back in 1988 in my 1977 Monte Carlo!!! That is such a fun thing, gosh that brings back memories........ ENJOY!

Cool, at least you can listen to music while driving now, that's the most important thing! :P
