Here's a closeup in the '71 brochure:

If you guys want to use one of those '79 AM/FM stereo radios, and don't want to have to install "extra" speakers, then might I suggest you find one of those "dual-cone" single stereo speakers and replace your factory dash speaker with it. That way you don't have to alter your original door panels, kick panels, or headliner. I have a 66 Custom Cab w/ radio delete, and a padded dash with no speaker hole, and I didn't want to hack that up, so for long trips, I made a center console for the tranny hump, that contains the radio, speakers and cup holders. It just plugs into a wire for power, and I can remove the whole thing for car shows. Just a suggestion... Greg

I found a stock am/fm stereo sitting in a 72 in the junkyard. I remembered this thread when I saw it, and thought about picking it up. I have no idea if it works, but its all there except for knobs and cover plate. I may go back and get it if one of you still need or want a stock am/fm radio.

50 year old country is really the only country I can stand to listen to. I do like Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakum, and a few of the contemporarys but find it just too painful to listen to a top 40 country station. A real country station will have the farm market report at noon. ( and probably Paul Harvey too)

Well, when you're down San Antonio way, tune to 680 AM KKYX. They've got the Classic Country and the farm report!

Went to the junkyard yesterday to pull it and found out it wasn't a stock philco am/fm radio, although the it looks alot alike and the radio bezel fits it and the knobs also fit it. Boy do I feel stupid. Anyways BigRedTruck has first dibs on it. It would look original to anyone who is not fordified, but a people on here would know its not stock.

This has come up in another thread, so I thought I would move this over here. http://www.turnswitch.com/ I looked at this site and for the money and for keeping the original radio, this has to be the way to go.
