**This cab also had an aftermarket under-dash pod with a Pianola brand Radio in it. Pianola radios were made in Japan. I see no makers mark(s) on the pod, but it's stamped steel.

Here is a pic of the Canadian pushbutton radio holes. Obviously this one was dealer installed.

Nice looking options, I'm one of those that some previous owner hacked a large hole in the dash, have a lot of other projects before trying to change that.

Anyone have some dimensions for the holes in the dash. Like hole size, and dimensions, and distance from the ash tray? I have a big hole and nothing to go by for locations. I did buy a radio on line and am waiting for it to show up.

Not sure this will work, pic is hosted by photobucket, and we all know how that's working out after they tried to extort everyone
