/\ the only change to the dash for 1978 was that the radio opening was enlarged for the newer delco radios.
if you compare he radio face plates for 70-77 & 78-81 that should assist in seeing the difference.
My car as I got it in 1995 had a later dash - so I had the opposite scenario.

if contemplating a radio conversion, why not just but an aftermarket one?

‘snake eater’ posted a video a while ago of the aftermarket radio he got in one of his T/A’s - it was the aftermarket blue tooth one - and he didn’t even realize it!

Thanks guys!! I ordered a radio from Jim today! bluetooth and all. That guy is seriously into his work.

I ordered from Jim as well! Should be here next week. I wanted the 78 "look" with Bluetooth. That's what this is.

Until you get the time and extra coin to actually buy and install a new sound system using one of those retro styled head units, just do what I do and buy a portable speaker lol. A JBL Charge 4 will sit snugly right on top of the dash wedged under the windshield, and sounds pretty good.

LOL, I actually prefer no radio. In my 69, 70, and 71 they all have AM radios. I don't even know if they work, actually the 69 works with it in the glovebox. I put this car together for my wife she has to listen to all her stuff. If this works out well Jim might get three more radios.

I just bought this recently from Amazon for about 100. It is a Carpuride C3 it is 7" horizontally 4" vertically. It is bluetooth or/and you can tune it to a FM station and it plays through speakers of car. I like how portable it is and will sync with phone. You can easily take in and out of any vehicle

that's cheap and android auto is a luxury
