other than going with custom autosound. factory radios from car of the same era with two post and aftermarket radios with two post can fit but will live a small gap above and below the radio because the trucks radio for some reason was a little taller

If you want aftermarket, here's a cheap solution:
Go to the auto parts store and find a shaft-style radio.

To add MP3 support, get a USB memory stick and add this for $30: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...51254022592401

It plugs into your cig lighter and plays songs stored on the USB memory stick over the radio waves. You tune your radio to the right frequency and it lets you listen to the stick.

Just remember, if your MP3's are lower sound quality, it's going to sound like crap.

This is a decent sub-$150 way to play MP3's in our trucks without cutting the dash and it requires no special wiring or knowledge. If you can install a stereo, you're good to go.

PS - when I say auto parts store, Pep Boys is mainly who I'm referring to, They have the Audiovox and Rampage lines. Crutchfield.com has the Sanyo MARB---- (I forget the numbers, just look at the Sanyo Cassette radios).

Try searching for "shaft style" AM/FM cassette deck or CD deck (if there is such a thing as a shaft style CD deck). Just put a car audio brand name in front. I found one by Kenwood:

KRC-2007 Only 15w RMS, though, and I couldn't see if it has CD changer control outs.

There are Sanyo shaft-style decks all over the place.

Kenwood also made a shaft type radio cassette. I went with the FM type cd changer when I had mine and it worked quiet well.
