Autozone has two **** radios but they sound like crap. I know you said you dont wanna butcher the dash but their is an alternative you can use to where you only have to bend the mounting tabs back, a 75 volvo kit upside down will allow you to install a modern radio.

In the mean time you can always put one in the glove compartment to save cutting the dash. Another idea is carefully to fasten it below the dash. Speaker placement is the hardest to do, since I will not cut the doors or panels.

Get you one out of the junkyard. I've got an AM/FM in mine out of about a 75 truck. Most junkyards I've seen, they are about 5 dollars

lots of good advice.i do know that the opening in the 67' cab is smaller than in 68' to72'.being the first year for that body style,the interior design is different than the rest.i have one mounted under the dash "for now" and i made my own speaker boxes for under the seat.more ideas please;and i have checked the dash speaker the problem is internal to the radio.i'm new here and i appreciate everyone's help.
