Hey everyone-I'm going to install an am/fm radio to replace the am only unit. I have two questions cause I'm not a radio guy-can I use the same antenae or do I have to get a Fm piece-also what speaker do I need (factory) ohms?

Speaker and antenna are the same.

The original speaker is not the same as what the regular speakers are out there on the aftermarket.

Are you going to an OEM AM/FM radio?
If you are, and going in the direction of restoration to OEM style radio set up. Then check these guys out, they have the OEM speakers and are pretty informative on questions you may have around OEM radio's.
