dash pics...
no not the gauges but the central part of the dash that holds the radio, ashtray and heater controls. trying to decide on a suitable look...one of the previous owners cut the radio area out for a more modern player. really ratted up the opening. so i am trying to decide what radio to use and which faceplate might be the largest to perhaps cover the hole. i really do not want to have to weld in a filler plate....any ideas or suggestions are appreciated...especially pictures. thanks

Re: dash pics...
took the radio out yesterday and of course the opening for the more modern radio looked to have been cut with a hacksaw...really goobered up. took a dremel and small cut off wheel and squared everything up. cut a plate to weld back in place. now need an idea of what type radio to installl as this will determine the new opening. i prefer modern features in a retro package?? any suggestions! thanks
