Stereo recommendation - starting from scratch in 78 GMC K15

[rgunlock]

I've searched this site and googled in general, quite a bit. Looking for recommendations for entire stereo system for my 78. I know squat about stereos and the more I read the more bewildered I get. I've been searching for a "buy this, this and this, and you'll be satisfied with the result". Can't find it! Haven't a clue how to match up head unit outputs to an amp to speakers, etc.

I know there will be a million opinions and I'm willing to sort through them. I'm an older fella and like country and classic rock along the lines of Journey and Boston. Not looking for a high-end killer system and don't want to go broke putting together a system, but I do want the system to sound clear in my old squarebody. I am doing a full restore on this truck with sound deadener and new weatherstripping, etc. so hopefully I won't have to overcome wind noise, etc.

My doors haven't been cut, so I'd prefer to leave them intact. I did purchase some cab corner 6x9 brackets from member BigBlock73 so I do want to use those. My dash has been cut by the PO, but original metal was just folded back where the knobs come through. Could go retro or modern, but I prefer to keep it simple. Don't want to have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to operate my new stereo, i.e. I "like" having push button presets!

I listen to FM radio 99% of the time. I like a scan function when I'm traveling, but most of the time a couple of presets suit me fine. I'd like to be able to use iPod or iPhone for my stored music, and cable connect is fine. Bluetooth is a plus I'd say, but I don't talk on the phone when I'm driving so it would just be to play music off the phone. Don't need satellite stereo.

I know this is a pretty broad "ask", but an end-to-end parts list or a link to such a parts list is what I'm looking for. I don't have any ambition to become a stereo expert so I'm tired of trying to sort it out, but also know I don't want to pay for a custom audio shop to do this for me. There are likely a bunch of us in this situation, so I'm hoping my subject line is something folks will get hits on if they are looking for the same thing.
