84Dolphin Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 It appears my coach neverhad a stereo as there is just the blank toyota plate in the dash as well as no speakers or wires in the dash. Is this common for 1984? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this common for 1984? Toyota Motorhomes are based on a 2WD commercial cab and chassis. The early generation trucks were bare bones. No radio unless ordered at the time of purchase. The factory wiring for radio and speakers should still be accessible under the dash. The cab area is so small you could just wire in a new setup and forget the factory wiring.

Renzo Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Speakers may or may not be installed if it never had radio. Thats ok, cuz they were cheap and tinny-sounding anyway. Im pretty sure the speaker wiring will be there,-biggest task will be removing the old door trim panels without breaking the fragile cardboard. Use a wide flexible scraper, or buy a trim kit that has multiple removal tools like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Tresalto-Auto-Trim-Removal-Tool/dp/B01L8GHB7O How-to video here; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott iv Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I'm not sure about your 84 but my 87 Escaper had the original speakers mounted on the left and right side of the lower dashboard. The door panels had not been cut for speakers nor was there wiring in that location. I had the door panels off when i insulated the doors.
