Mounting the original radio (or half of it)

[falconizer_62]

I just finished installing a Classic Auto Air "perfect fit" system in my truck. I also just bought an original radio and don't need it to work, I just need it to look pretty. There are all sorts of hoses and ducts running around up there due to the A/C install, and trying to get the whole beast to fit seems a much more daunting task than it needs to be.
Is there a way to strip the radio down to its knobs and faceplate and make it mountable? I am mounting a cigarette lighter 12V outlet into the new, reduced sized plastic glove box, and just use my iPod and a power amp for tunes.
I just figured I would check, since I am probably not the first person who wanted to do this.
