I know how you feel. It can be frustrating. Coming here is a good start, maybe somebody has what you're looking for. Maybe try putting a want ad in the classifieds here. Sometimes I can get lucky at the junkyard but most of the time not.

The panel is obsolete from Ford, and I checked FTE sponsor Green Sales, they don't have one either, but the news isn't all bad. Guess why?
The AM/FM radio you want is the exact same one that is used in 1980/87 Crown Vics, Mercury Grand Marquis and Escorts, and other Fords from the time period (E4AZ-18806-B). The radio chassis, *****, the whole tamale..identical to the ones the trucks use. If you can find one with a cassette, that'll work also. If the radio fits those cars, it'll fit your truck. Shouldn't be too hard to find one of those.
Now answer a question from me...Is Barnesville Hardware at 116 Main Street still in business? That store had tons of old kerosene lamp parts, even some NOS Studebaker wagon parts...a treasure trove.
