1970 GMC Radio - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I pulled my AM radio out (dead). What a job! Want to put in a AM/FM cassette and new speaker using the existing space. Is there a aftermarket radio and speaker that will fit and not look to different from the original. I only want to run with a center monaural speaker. I will keep the AM and have it repaired. As a side note bought the truck two weeks ago at night (no mufflers--running on 6 cylinders) and commenced to drive it 300 miles. Got home at 3:30 AM. Next day I pulled the valve covers and found 6 bent and 2 broken push rods! (all intake) (396 CI) Replaced all 16 at $1.70 each and she runs like a champ. Ain't life grand! Well hope someone can help with a recomendation for a basic radio/cassette/speaker setup.
Thanks,
Having fun with my Chevy
