73 C60 Dash Hole for Radio

[Bigdually]

Has anyone seen a factory hole like this in an early squarebody dash? This is in my 73 C60, figured I'd post here to get more traffic, plus interiors are basically identical from the medium duty trucks to the pickups.

This is the original paint covering all the edges of the hole apart from the bottom right corner that is bent outward. It appears stock to me, especially given the smooth rounded edges and original color paint covering everything.

Would this have been a stock radio delete truck? I have an extra stock radio I wanted to stick in but there's no holes for it to bolt through.

Maybe make a small adapter plate to mount in there and then the radio into it.

I'm thinking I'll have to if I want to use a stock style radio.

I'm mostly curious if anyone has seen an early squarebody with this type dash hole from the factory.
