I believe that the center of knob to the center of knob is 6.25" and that the opening is 4.5" by 2.25", someone help me here I'm going by memory.
For the most part any old school name brand shaft style radio; Alpine, Sony, JVC, Kenwood, Sanyo, ect is going to out-perform any of the USA radios. If you are planning to install an amplifier be sure that the replacement radio has at least one set of preamp outputs or at very least speaker-level inputs. If you have neither you will have to use a line output converter, to install an amp, and this will only deteriorate the oversound quality.

Any good 2 shaft radio from a major manufacturer has adjustable shafts. There is a nut that holds the shaft to the body and you can slide it in and out to adjust the width to fit the dash opening.
I think the center opening is standard, but I'm not 100%.
