I had Jensen speakers in my 1975 GMC pickup. I built wooden boxes that could fit behind my seat in the cab. However, they had long enough speaker cables on them so you could put them on top of the roof.
This came in handy when you went to the drive in during the summer. I would pull in backwards. Then we would sit in the back on the truck on lawn chairs with a cooler for beer and a footrest.
Oh Gosh, you have me laughing, that was so ..uh..creative. I was very impressed with the tech of my peers back then!
Didn't we all. My friend just had them installed and made me sit in his mustang to listen to Edgar Winter's Frankenstein stereo effects.

Your story brings back such great memeories. I was a teen/young adult in the late 70’s. Such a great time.
Everyone in my area had 4x4’s, with rollbars and front grill guards and Cibie or KC lights.
One time my friend got pulled over by the sherriff and we all had beers on us and cooler in the back of the truck. The cop made us spill out our beers and he took the cooler with beers.lol We were mad then but laugh about it today at the reunions.
Today we would have been in jail with dui’s.
