On all NBS trucks, you might have to cut the metal brace directly behind the radio. Some Double din radios are so big that the brace needs to be cut in order to fit the thing into the dash. Other radios are not quite as deep, and you can get away with not cutting that brace. But like mentioned, on a 00-02 the dash bezel will definitely need to be modified in order to fit around the radio. There are two other options if you can't modify your existing bezel. Metra makes a double din kit that includes a black paintable bezel for a 00_02 but it has the bigger radio opening like a 03+ has. But that kit is NOT cheap. The other option (and by far the most popular) is to just get a 2003+ dash bezel from a donor truck with the same color dash as yours. The AC controls will have to be slightly modified to adjust the mounts, but other than that, it's a pretty easy way to fit a double din in a 00-02.

Really limits what you can put into a 2002. Luckily I have the Alpine single din with the flip out screen and hard navigation. Old as sin but still works. Only thing that stinks is you can't rely to much on the navigation as it's never been updated since 2005.

It doesn't limit at all, any DD will fit with a little modification. The brace is easy to remove and once that's out of the way and you install an 03+ cage and bezel you have unlimited possibilities. Here's mine. This mod isn't difficult.

Picked these up today, now just gotta paint em and I'll have my Poor Man's "BIG BRAKE KIT" for an NBS! Already bought the Powerslots & SS lines a few months back.

Gonna paint the calipers Silver with the G2 brush on kit, and paint the brackets BLUE with some VHT spray bomb.

Are you just going to use the old ones for the core return?
