After a bunch of searching around I found a radio that Ausley's Chevelle was selling pretty cheap that fit the stock opening. The tuner is not that great but I mostly use my IPOD through the Aux-in anyway. Forget about CD's- they are already becoming old tech.

The 67 FB uses the same cutout as the Camaros, right? It seems to me there should be some good alternatives out there.

Exactly. Thats what I did, and ran the mp3/aux jack into my console. I just plug my phone in since thats the only mp3 player I mess with and I'm good. The radio works fine as well and doubles as a clock. Not perfect but way better than cutting up an uncut dash, and less work.
