Need new speaker for dash

Where can I get a replacement dash speaker for my 70? One that will fit in the original location on the same bracket. Old one was C7TA-18808-A.

D2TZ-18808-B (replaced C7TZ-18808-A) .. Radio Speaker - 5" x 7" / Marked: C7TA-18808-A or D2TA-18808-AA / Obsolete

1967/72 F100/750; 1973/79 F500/880.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any. Try Radio Shack, this is a common speaker size.

It's going to be used with the factory AM radio so it's only going to sound that good.

You should also know what the stock speaker ohms is to get the same as older speakers had a different ohm than what you can get today.

Update - I found a company that repairs speakers. Sent it to them and got it back in less than a week - looks great. Costs $59.

Almost 4 years later, but completed. I have one of those speakers sitting here out of a 70 for my 72 that is totally rotted out. Didnt even think of someone rebuilding it. Thx for the update.
