If the stock radio works and is in good condition and I wanted that look I would just leave it as with it's own speaker and tuned to a local station. THEN I would have a hidden head unit that I can control off blue tooth or remote with it's own speaker set that are hidden. I'm pretty well doing that in my 48 as the dash (not Chevy truck) will have the radio that came in it but I'll Have the Alpine head unit I had in an ot car tucked in and hidden in plain sight for road sounds. with the AM radio in the dash for show and tell time. The actual dash came out of the first car I ever owned when I was 16.
