Looking for a replacement speaker to work with my stock AM radio in my 1971 C10.

Are these what I need?

If you have the original mounting provision and want a speaker with moderate improvement over the original you want the 4" x 10" special rectangle here:

My understanding was that the ohm rating of the speaker(s) needs to match that of the radio or you may wreck/defeat some of the circuitry, and I'm not sure what the original ohm rating of the radio is.

Correct. In fact the AM radios I have say "do not operate without 8-10 ohm speaker" on the top. The speaker I linked above is 10 ohms.

Sounds good... pun intended. I didn't mention in my post that I have one and it performs very well.
