Sorry Farmertan, I stole one of your pics from another thread. Reply # 7, second pic down.

In this pic, there is an arm that has a "hook" on it (in line with radio slot in pic).  What does this bolt to or where might it go?   

I pulled my dash a while back, cleaned up all the rust, replaced the pad, put it back in and cannot remember what it goes to.   Thanks!

It holds the factory radio up in the back

I think that hooks to the radio.

Correct , it hooks onto the side of the radio near the back

Yeah I just put my AM radio back in.  There's also two holes on the bottom of the radio that tie into the bottom dash pad.

May I ask which dash pad you used? 

I think the hardest part of the dash swap was cleaning up the a/c vent areas to get the vents back into the new pad. 

I was actually amazed at how easy the dash assembly came out.

I guess that I need to find a radio if I want that hooked up.

I originally bought a Year One pad, but was not happy with it and returned it.  I then took my pad over to Just Dashes and dripped it off.  Paid 750 or 800 cash and had it back in about 3 weeks.  I have only installed it and all looks great.  I have not yet put the speakers in but have slipped the vents in and they fit pretty nice in there. 

It was pretty easy; the disassembly of it was harder than putting it back together.  Taking my front windshield out was the biggest help of all.
