Original AM/FM Install

After searching and looking in salvage yards, yard sales, swap meets, etc. FINALLY found an original true AM/FM truck radio. Bought at Pate/Texas Mtr. Speedway swap meet for $230 (worked when it was removed, yeah, NOT!) Wanted $275 and just couldn't do that not knowing for sure. Glad I dickered with him now. Took it to a well known radio shop (used to be authorized Delco dealer) and was told "nice looking am/fm, too bad it don't work''. Fix it and call me. $230 later it is ready to be installed. Taking it to the radio shop Tues next week for install. If it was an am only might install my self but I want this done right !! Have all the neccessay brakets, dash cups (A big thanks to Sharpie1972, thanks again Dennis). Bought a aftermarket replacement speaker from www.turnswitch.com so think I'm ready to go. Included the old stock original and the new replacement for comparison. Uses an "adapter" block so speaker will fit the original speaker bracket. Also plan on installing later a Sanyo AM/FM/CD/Cassette single DIN for underdash mount. First the truck AM/FM
