Interesting point Ed; the existing wires are connected to to the remains of the speakers, but not to the original AM radio. it hadn't occurred to me that a separate stereo would have been installed but that certainly makes sense.

Back then it was common to screw aftermarket stereos, tape players, and CB radios to the bottom edge of the dash. They came in so many different sizes and shapes that few of them fit in the original radio holes. That's also why you find some of our trucks with oversize holes cut in where the original radio was.
