Is there a way to make this fit a 2002 Avy?

Found this listing on eBay. I'm considering bidding on it if there's a kit or anything I could do to make it fit.

It shows it belongs to years 2007 and up for GM vehicles. I know there are dash kits to make a double din fit an '02 Av, but I wanted to get some more experienced opinions. Thanks.
 
I believe you can do some trimming on the dash support and swap in a bucket(Cage) from a 03 up GM truck to get a double din radio in it. About that radio its hard to tell because there is no brand name on it.
 
It'll fit but it won't just drop in. Cutting, fabrication, new parts and a little work is needed.
 
Metra has a double Din kit for the 2002 now..

But that doesn't necessarily mean that head unit will fit and since 02's don't use can-bus so some of the functions probably won't work. It's not going to be plug and play.. You will also need to bypass the factory amp if you use the factory speakers and wiring.

It might be easier to put in a Pioneer, Alpine etc. double din head unit.

Ok then. I'll probably go with the metra dash kit and a normal double din setup when I do it. I thought I'd check on this one because it looks like it comes right out of a GM truck so it might have been worth a go. Thanks for the responses!
