I removed my original 8 track and installed this EQ stereo I had from a Grand National. I had an extra 78 face plate that someone butchered. I traced out the larger opening size from an 86-88 face plate and came up with this.
That’s why I decided not to cut my original radio mount and bezel . My current stereo was free but who knows what else I might do , so I’m fabricating my own bezel for single din .For now ! 🤔Don't forget, with a 1.5 DIN opening, you can go with a Single DIN Head Unit and an old school Pre-Amp/EQ on top of it. Then, you put a sub and amp in the back... 6x9's.. 6" in front... Push around 600W, you will be happy.
....not that I would know anything about that.
(Not my actual set-up, but the same thing, basically)

I use a cassette adapter on mine to plug my phone in to which I stream music or listen to satellite radio. But I agree, the reception and to sound quality is far superior to the earlier oem shaft style stereos.View attachment 143444
Gorgeous! I have the same on in my '85 Monte.
OP: THIS IS THE RADIO TO INSTALL! It looks clean, has incredible reception and range on AM/FM, you can use a tape adapter for MP3(mine is modified to accept 1/8 stereo cable) and has a big warm sound. Plenty of power.
Sorry I’m hung up here just want to get this right . So hook my yellow wire from radio to cigarette light power ? Then red to red from the photo ? The blue wire in the adapter jack is what would go to the grey in the original harness . What would hook to it ?No, tag the orange off the lighter socket. Gray is gauge lights dimmer.
