Exclamation Radio Speaker Replacement

My 1975 F 600 needs a new radio speaker . I noticed it has the square magnet base , and is held in by a brace under the dash . Part # on the speaker is D2TA-18808-AA , 3.2 ohms / 433550 . Aftermarket speakers abound . I would like to keep it original . Any one have a stash of nos speakers ?

It is probably the same speaker as the pickups with the same cab style.

Why hunt out a NOS speaker? No one will ever know.....

Actually, post 3 answers the questions. Yes, it's the same speaker in many years and models. No, no one has any.

D2TZ-18808-B .. Radio Speaker - 5" x 7" // Marked: D2TA-18808-AA / Obsolete

1971/72 F100/750 // 1973/79 F500/880 (1973/79 F100/350 is different).

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any, none on ebay.

I was reading your N series posts earlier today, noticed where you said you couldn't find a slave cylinder.

I looked, there are none listed in the parts catalog for 500/700 series F & N series trucks. Parts catalog pic shows mechanical linkage.

Since this truck was a Domestic Special Order, if it does have a hydraulic clutch, it was installed either by FoMoCo or the RR itself from an 800 series.

Sadly, there are no recorders available, as FoMoCo threw them all away decades ago.

FTE member Ms_Michelle has a beautifully restored 1967 N series. She also has, as you probably know, a Ranger.
