Allan, I doubt they will have a radio to actually fit that truck. The 48-50 Ford/Mercury trucks had a different radio than the cars and I have yet to find any vendor that has a reproduction to fit it. I checked the site for VAR and they seem to specialize mostly in GM products with only a few Fords, mostly Mustangs.

The '48 Mercury car radio will fit, it's not exact but it will fit the opening.
