Well, he could barely walk and he didn't look healthy. He needed the money for medical bills.

Sounds to me like it's a bit more than diabetes. He may not have been all that truthful about that. You know how some are about their health. And diabetes doesn't do that to a guy in months. More like years. Neglectful years. His wife probably made him sell it, and no man will admit that.

I look forward to see what you do.

You know, I think you're right about his wife. It looked like she was happy to see it go.

probably need to remove the doghouse no matter what. It will have a brace that bolts to the firewall. There's likely a trim piece on the front of the radio that will pop off. behind that some bolts that need a 10mm socket.

Thank you!
Hi! Do you have pictures of your journey? I have a '79 G20 that I'm looking to replace the post style stereo in. Thanks so much!
