7000 series interior

I did a search and couldn't find much. I don't think you are going to find a video.

I am going to redo the cab interior on my 7010. Have you selected a cab kit manufacturer? I saw some conversation on this forum that mentioned that some guys wanted to use the lighter tan used on 8000 series. It wouldn't be original but I see the advantages of lighter color.

I am working on the stereo right now for the son. A modern stereo won't fit in the slot and you can buy vintage stereos but they are quite expensive. I am going to buy a Bluetooth amp and not worry about a receiver. He can tune his phone into a radio station if he wants to hear FM.

Since the stadium lights aren't original on the front, going to go with an LED light bar. I mounted one on my 190xt and love that light bar. I finished round baling a few times at dark and that light bar was sweet.

I probably won't redo cab interior until winter but let me know if you find something. If I redo mine first, I will document my cab kit in case it will help you and others.

I have redone a maroon belly and a black belly recently. Sorry I have not posted any pics yet. I got both kits from Fehr. The fit was good but note some panels are cut oversized to allow for shrink which will happen as I have noticed already on the side bar of the black belly. On the floor panels there is a difference between maroon and black. On my 7045 I requested the floor panels for maroon belly as the seat brackets were the same as maroon. Dry fit everything first to understand how it goes in and follow the order listed in the directions.

I looked at the specs on that radio and it appears to be a 7 inch unit which does not work in my cab. I need about a 6.5 inch width. All of these cheap stereos seem to be 7 inches. So that may not work for you. That guy did a good job of breaking that unit down though.

Not the neatest cuts but a faceplate covers it.

I am trying not to cut up my cab to keep it original, but we will see how my stereo turns out.  I can always cut the sides if I don't like it.  I will post pictures when I am done.  I got the LED light on last night and am going to hook it up tonight.  Still worried about not using the relay but we will see.  Like to see your pics though.

This is 1024 wide done with https://resizeimage.net/

The screw holes were transferred from the original cover plate.
The buttons where the original radio was are the light bar switches with another ABS sheet for a mounting bracket. This harness has a relay and I powered it with another circuit breaker dedicated for the light bars

Photo editing is still tricky for me even tho I have read many how to posts on this forum. I resized this last photo using my phone which seems to be easier.

Did anyone have possible information on tan interior?

Rough the opening in with a Metalbo. Finish with a file.Friction fit. Have to make a cover plate and figure a way to secure from behind.Resized this pic down to 480 wide. Still abit big.

I'm dry fitting everything for now. The goal is to make it removable from the front. It's a cheap head. Just pull and replace as needed. Not a bad idea on the USB or power ports. I do want to wire some in. But that location would have wires hanging in my face so they'd have to be clipped out of the way. Plus they're never long enough. I was thinking down to the right of the gauge cluster where the monitors are. If I'd used the hole on the right instead of the left for the radio that would have been amuch more viable option.

Jealous of the Polk speakers. I should have bought something like that. We will see how the Pioneer speakers work. I have to use spacers like you to make it work. I am thinking about making a phone holder for the top of the cab when I make my faceplate to keep the wires out of the way as you point out. Since my stereo relies on Bluetooth exclusively, I might as well. The phone calls will come through the stereo so you can easily look up and see who's calling. I am sure the reality of making it work will change my plans though. I got a full weekend so not sure I can get much done this weekend.
