The 8 track stereo tape player for F100/350's was first offered in 1968. It was separate from the radio and fit into a compartment that bolted to the bottom of the dashboard.

This same setup was also used in some 1968/72 passenger cars.

Ford did not offer a tape player/radio combination in F Series Trucks or Bronco's until 1980.

I have a Vintage Lear Jet 8 track player in the 69 crew cab. In dash but not stock.

The slick radios can be sent out and modern electronics put in them to run MP3 and RCA outputs along with a disc changer. Not cheep but one option.

I worked on radios for years and rebuilt mine. I wanted to try to get mine looking from the time period of when it was made. I then added the FM converter that goes into a reverb unit from the 60s. It then goes to a booster and then to the speakers. I have a mp3 player that goes to the fm. So all I have to do is to save what songs I want to a usb drive plug it in and listen to what I want. The only piece I have not from within about the lime period of a few years after the truck was new is the mp3 player but it unplugs so it won't be seen. I am highly satisfied with this setup, reverb units have a distintive sound.
