Thanks guys, this helps get me going in right direction. Now the long search to find or fabricate a good looking alternative.
I also found some good pics of a 67 plate with mounting studs after much Google search tonight. Can't seem to find pics of the back of a 68-69 radio delete plate with the thumbwheel radios. Parts catalogs list different part numbers than the 67 so I assume the mounting is different.
Ben Drinkin, assuming this is in a car you currently have, how is the plate attached to the dash bezel being a thumbwheel vs. shaft radio?
