what i ment was that if someone is going to go looking for a OEM radio for a 72 ford truck they would have looked into it enough to find out what they look like and what the other ones look like so they know if they are getting the right item, just because you never saw one new doesnt mean that you dont know what it looks like before you pay $300 for one...

I remember my old radio in the 72 unfourtnatly it bit the dust and we had to get rid of it now there is a piece of base board in the hole where the radio should go sad really. But now you have got me curious my 72 didn't have the speakers mounted in the doors instead behind the driver in which the speakers stuck out about 10 inches from the cab is that stock? Becasue my dad seems to think my grandpa put those on as an aftermarket touch.

The Hang-On 8 track player was a dealer installed option though, wasn't it?
And I know the Am/Fm stereo was a Factory Option.
Still that would make a few of those speaker holes at the bottom of these doors, "bona-fide".

F Series: There were three additional kits, Two contained the speakers and grilles and were specific to the years the parts were used, the other kit contained the wiring.

By the way,i asked the Ebay seller about this radio,and he never even bothered responding! that says something about his business practices..... the way Ebay uses buyer feedback now to rate sellers and structure seller discounts,if he has very many unhappy buyers,he will be getting his own medicine shortly!
