**This cab also had an aftermarket under-dash pod with a Pianola brand Radio in it. Pianola radios were made in Japan. I see no makers mark(s) on the pod, but it's stamped steel.

Nice looking options, I'm one of those that some previous owner hacked a large hole in the dash, have a lot of other projects before trying to change that.

Anyone have some dimensions for the holes in the dash. Like hole size, and dimensions, and distance from the ash tray? I have a big hole and nothing to go by for locations. I did buy a radio on line and am waiting for it to show up.
