Product Description
Ford's F-Series trucks from 1968 to 1986 cover the bumpside, dentside and early bullnose generations, and many have been restored or kept working for decades. This KHE-300 by Ken Harrison is the Ford truck version, custom designed to fit the factory dash and packed with modern features.

About Ken Harrison
The KHE-300 is a Ken Harrison design. According to the listing, it was in research and development for two years, and Ken Harrison has been making radios for more than 25 years. His designs focus on good radio sound and a classic appearance.
Built for Truck Life
Trucks are noisy, so power matters. With 200 watts of output (50 watts x 4), separate bass and treble controls and a 4-way fader, the KHE-300 can be heard over road noise. Bluetooth streaming, front USB and a mini SD card reader let you bring your own music, and the extended pushbuttons store 6 AM and 6 FM stations.
Options
- Front dual voice coil speaker, which plays both stereo channels through a single dash speaker
- Rear 6x9 speaker pair, Custom Autosound or upgraded Pioneer
- Hideaway antenna
Many trucks have a single dash speaker location, so a dual voice coil speaker is a simple way to get both stereo channels. A hideaway antenna keeps the fenders clean.
Before You Install
The KHE-300 requires a 12-volt negative ground system. Check the wiring behind the dash, use a fused power source and make a clean ground. An auto radio specialist can install it if you prefer. Vintage Car Radio sells the radio and accessories but does not offer installation.
A Radio for Work and Play
Whether your Ford truck is a show piece or still hauls lumber, the KHE-300 is designed to be simple to use. Large preset buttons are easy to find while driving, the blue LCD is readable day or night and the clock keeps you on schedule. The RCA pre-outs give you room to add an amplifier and subwoofer behind the seat.
