It’s the area with the indentation; maybe some base trucks did not have a faceplate?

Re: 1963 radio - try and fix or replace?

I used Custom Auto Sound "Undercover 11 speakers" under the stock seat of my 65 C10 with the RetoSound Laguna radio. I did have to remove the sear adjuster wire for clearance but my seat stays all the way back anyway. They can be repositioned behind the seat when you remove the tank later on. I also put two 3 or 3 and a half inch speakers in the original speaker opening in the dash. With my hearing issues and a loud truck I didn't need anything fancy.

FYI I did the conversion and I absolutely love it. AM/FM, USB, Bluetooth, Auxiliary playback. i use an iPod on long trips, and other times i use spotify or pandora on my phone.
