I ordered a replacement speaker from Electro-Tech. I have bought their 4x10 oval replacement speaker before and it worked very well and fit perfectly into the factory under dash bracket. They are the correct 8-ohm rating that will work with the factory radios, versus all the 4-ohm replacement versions out there that will fry your original radio eventually.
With shipping it was around $59

Steve, that is the same front speaker I put in my 74. I am intimately familiar with all that AC duct and reaching up there to get it in. I had my radio rebuilt and added an MP3 Jack, and both front and rear speakers were bad, so they are new. Sounds really good. The guy at Electro-Tech was great to work with and I had the new speakers in just a couple days after ordering.
