I know what the OP requested, however you gave a detailed description,

The chassis mounts to the dash from the backside using a bracket. Its two shafts poke thru the left/right holes, the bezel is then placed onto the shafts, nuts are placed on the shafts retaining the bezel to the dash/chassis.
The ***** are then placed on the shafts. The center hole is for the chassis' bulb to light the dial.
When you stated "No other radio will fit" I just wanted to bust your ***** regarding that statement.

Take a day off, whiz over with your kiddies to the Diamond Lake museum to see all the dinosaur fossils on display they dug up during construction.
'Course the kiddies don't need to leave home to see a fossil, cuz all they have to do is look at you!

Go to RediRad Classic Car AM and FM radio adapter- MP3/Satellite Radio to AM or FM band
They make a unit that plugs into your AM radio and allows you to use an MP3 player or satellite radio.

Perfect
Thanks for the info. This is what I am looking for. I hate modern looking radios cut into an old dashboard. I don't need a ghetto blaster, just some tunes while I'm driving.

Can I please get a blow up pic of the front of that ford radio?
I beg to differ N.D. Remember the radio from a 1964 Dodge truck I pulled. Identical mounting as the radio from the 61-66 ford trucks. Here's the picture. The face plate is a little different but it mounts the same, same holes and everything.
<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 itxtNodeId="29" itxtHarvested="0"><TBODY itxtNodeId="30" itxtHarvested="0"><TR itxtNodeId="33" itxtHarvested="0"><TD bgColor=#dfdfdf colSpan=2 itxtNodeId="44" itxtHarvested="0">: </TD></TR><TR itxtNodeId="32" itxtHarvested="0"><TD bg*************** colSpan=2 align=middle itxtNodeId="46" itxtHarvested="0">
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
The face plate will fit on either box.

Book marked 66-77 Bronco website, appears the unit would fit, certain more knowledgeable member will advise. Asking $350 which seems a bit pricey, but I have never shopped for an upgraded radio to compare to??

Mostly because I don't have the $350. But I do like the fact that it's the same radio that has been working for 50 years. Original to the truck with original holes. Your's looks awesome btw.

I had a similar dilemna. I wanted to keep my non-functional factory radio for looks but I also wanted music in the truck.
I just bought a small amplifier and bluetooth adapter and hid them both under the dash. I flip a switch and it activates the bluetooth adapter and I just connect with my phone. All the convenience of modern technology with no cutting or hacking.
