Brent, I noticed the same "nothing fits" problem according to Crutchfield, so I called them and asked why any ICJ chassis wouldn't fit. They said it's because the bus has a really shallow cavity -- if you pull out the ashtray, you'll see that there's a member in there that the back of the stereo butts against. I bought the Pioneer DEH-P4400 because it's particularly shallow, and I'm _still_ going to bend that piece of metal out of the way, because things are so tight in there. Anyhow, since our vehicles are ICJ-sized in width and height, you just have to do some creative bending / hacksawing if you want a different head unit in there. Best, d.
