I'm trying to find an original stock radio for my 77 and I have never seen one, so I have no idea what I'm looking for. Anyone have pictures of theirs or know where I can find one? I looked on ebay there was one shown, but I wanted another opinion to make sure I know what I'm getting

Tom's and Bronco Hut both list original used radios on their websites.

I'm headed over to the Bronco Hut this weekend...I'd be happy to check out what they have as far as OEM radios and report back for you.

I talked to a couple companies today that take the old radios and gut them and refurbish with updated boards and add MP3/iPod/CD inputs on the back. The problem with the old bronco radio is that there are no control to update for fade and balance adjustment so I decided to go with this one. http://www.metropartsmarket.com/catalogs/image_vintageaudio_105653.html

Because you can actually adjust the iPod with the radio controls. I want the look of a radio that is not worthy of theft.

I see the original stock radios on EB from time to time. LMC Trucks has some aftermarket FORD radios that are supposed to fit the original hole in the dash.

Our 71 doesn't have a radio in the dash, it has an am/cb mounted to the bottom of the dash that uses the speaker in the dash. There's no hole for a stock radio, but the speaker and grille are in the dash. It had a whip antenna out the middle of the roof as well as the stock on the RF fender.
