1957 - 1960 ford f series pick up radio installation

Looking for a truck in No. California that has a factory round radio installed. I[m Installing an original round radio in a truck that didn't come with one and need a diagram of the dash showing the proper placement of a factory radio.

I have seen the diagram, but I can't find it. Here are a couple pictures, maybe they are enough to help.

So are the pictures you posted of your trucks? What I really need is to be able to take measurements and I would be willing to travel to see it personally and take measurements myself. I am located north of Sacramento.

Thank you so much for the pictures.

No just pictures I had on my computer. Up to you, but I would say you could blow up the picture on your computer until the radio dial is the right size and take the measurements on the screen. The radio ***** are inline with the other *****, so getting it lined up should be easy.

There was a template that came with the radio, I used to have one, but I can't find it.

Here is an old thread from when we were one forum 48-60. It may be helpful.
