Absolutely. They just mount with 4 screws. Our 86 Weekender came with the
dealer-installed in-dash A/C and one of those add-on radio housings. CD
players won't work when mounted vertically like that , so I made some maple
filler pieces and mounted the CD player on top of where the ash tray used to
be. It works well for us.
