Im trying to install a deck into my 00 s-10 everything is fine wiring wise, but the thing wont fit, it needs to go in like one more inch, I think its hitting the ac vent so can i just take a heat gun and melt it back?

sure if you're careful.
other option is to use flex tubing and re-route the vent tube
that's a bit of work though

Read this from http://www.installdr.com/InstallDocs/GM/PDF/460001.pdf
It should be the same as your truck.

"Depending upon the depth of the new radio and
the type of radio installation kit you use, you
may have problems inserting the new radio into
the dash. New radios are usually deeper than
the General Motors radio. In this vehicle, the
rear of the GM radio was held in place by a
plastic bracket with a hole in it. The rear of the new radio may hit this bracket and prevent the new radio from installing completely in the dash.
If this happens you will have to break off or
saw off this plastic bracket so that the new
radio will properly fit into the dash. The
quickest way to break off this bracket is to grab
the top of the bracket with pliers and twist and
pull until the plastic snaps and breaks away."

Good Luck
