2000 Z71 Double Din

[burnette3339]

I have seen a lot of posts on double din installs but I haven't seen any from a z71. Mine has the CD player under the ac controls I would like to put I a double din but I'm not good at doing a lot of fabrication. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The 00 Z71 tahoe is same body as the 94-99 correct? If so, I'm surprised a 2din fits with what little space they have in the dash. If you aren't much of a fabricator you might have some trouble, but with the right tools and parts you may have some luck.

theres a lot of space if you move the hvac controls down, but that would require some decent fab work i would think (assuming this is an obs) considering the stocker is already 1.5din its not missing that much space to fit a double, but i dont think theres any easy way to do it

I was thinking of depth behind the dash, It's been a long time since ive worked one, but i remember the 95-99 giving me trouble with routing/placing any extra cables behind the radio. Not to mention the exposed a/c controls that I have seen many inexperienced installers short out so a/c doesn't work.
