My company just purchased (2) 2008 Chevy Express cargo vans with the radio previsions only. I have selected a pair of single DIN Stereos for both the vans. I'm trying to find out which dash kit, wire harness, and antenna adapter i need(if any). I'm trying to use Walmart.com but they don't have anything vehicle specific. Anyone maybe have a write up on how to remove the cubby hole and dash for install? Any information on the matter would be appretiated. The was also a mention about a door chime something another on Crutchfield.com. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Yes this forum is pretty much dead... but what do you expect from a tradesman's vehicle and not really an enthusiast's vehicle. Anyway back to your question. I have replaced my '07 OEM radio with a JVC one. I did a direct replacement (double-din to double-din). Here is my instruction for removing the radio from an '07 (I don't think it is much different from your '08). You need to remove 2 screws under the driver steering panel, 2 screws from under the passenger side panel and two from the center cubby hole (this might be different on your since my '07 cubby hole is a long and shallow one). Start prying out the entire panel. That's it. As far as using aftermarket one, GM recommends an adapter (METRA) in order to retain all the dings and chimes. Regarding single-din kit, I might have seen a few for sale on Ebay. Good luck.
