I don't remember how it was, cause my brother and I hacked it up 25 years ago to install a pull out stereo! (remember them?) I don't think it would be too hard to fix, but I was curious was some others have done. Surely, there are many that have had hack job stereo installs as well. Thanks.

Man this is classic!
I did the exact same thing in high school, 1985.
Cut up the perfect dash on my Dad's original owner 68 in order to fit in a Kenwood pull-out. What a joke...
Not to mention drilling the grill inserts for fog lights...
Still paying the price for this today, ditched the Kenwood long ago.
I put a radio delete plate on for the time being; will be following this thread as I still have the factory AM unit.
