One of the main complaints about classic vehicles is the quality of the original sound system. Classic trucks have plenty to offer in engine feel and build quality, but the audio systems are often lacking. Aftermarket Classic Chevy Truck Speaker Brackets let you install additional speakers in your 1973-1987 or 1947-1954 Chevy truck.

Typically, these classic Chevy trucks include dash speakers only — not very powerful and not great sound quality. Installing LS Fab Speaker Brackets lets you upgrade your audio system with more speakers and modern technology, easily and affordably.

Placing and Installing Chevy Truck Speaker Brackets

Inside the cab, the corners contain a lot of wasted space — in most cases the perfect place for a new set of 6×9 or 6.5″ speakers. Install a pair of LS Fabrication Speaker Brackets with the included hardware.

We offer brackets that house 6×9 or 6.5-inch speakers — often a large step up from built-in dash speakers. Test the fit of your exact speakers before you paint or upholster the brackets, to make sure the speaker holes work with your specific speaker; if they’re slightly smaller, you may need to trim the hole slightly.

Once your speakers fit, align the brackets in the rear cab corner area to determine exact fit and placement — check position with the seat in its fully back position. Use the included hardware to attach them to the floor; the top can be secured with screws or welded if preferred. Once mounted, connect the speakers to the brackets and wire them through to the correct connections, consulting your speakers’ installation manual if needed.

Will the LS Fabrication Speaker Brackets Fit Your Chevy?

We designed our Speaker Brackets to fit properly — 18-gauge raw steel, laser cut for a precision fit, shaped specifically to fit the cab corner of the specific era of Chevy truck. These brackets fit the 47-54 and 73-87 Chevy pickups; a different year or era won’t fit correctly. We’re always working to expand the product line, so check back for brackets for other eras.

If you’d like to confirm fitment before purchase, bracket measurements and hole sizes are posted in the product listing so you can compare against your specific speakers.

How Can You Customize Your Speaker Brackets?

Our 47-54 speaker brackets come in a smooth or bead-rolled design option for a bit of customization and flair. Our later-model 73-87 brackets come in smooth only, as they’re much smaller. Either way, they can be spray-painted, carpeted, or wrapped in vinyl to look factory-installed.

Both years are available for 6×9 or 6.5-inch speakers, so you can buy the mounting brackets that fit your speakers properly — most go with the standard 6×9, though 6.5-inch is available too.

Will You Need Additional Tools to Install Your Squarebody Speaker Brackets?

All bracket kits include the hardware needed to install the Speaker Brackets, but you’ll provide your own tools for installing the brackets and speakers — typically a screwdriver, utility knife, socket wrench, and electric drill at minimum. Some customers prefer to weld them in position if they’re at that stage of their build, but our kit includes all the hardware needed so welding isn’t required.

Revamp Your Classic Truck

Good audio matters, and not knowing how to mount speakers properly is one of the biggest reasons classic Chevy owners haven’t upgraded their sound system. These speaker brackets provide support and stability in the unused space of the truck’s cab corner, are simple to install, made of high-quality materials, and affordable. If you’re ready to give your classic truck a modern audio revamp, we encourage you to check out a set today.
