Slick 60's

Was it an option in 1964 to have a speaker installed on top of the dash right above the radio on custom cab trucks? My truck has a circle cut in the top of the dash with four mounting holes around it that appear to be factory cut for a speaker. Does anyone have a picture of what this option looked like? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

yes it is the speaker hole, there is a grille that goes on top to cover it

dash with factory radio holes


not a very good pic but you can see the grille on top.

And that is not typical, as that is a real nice factory hole. most radios are dealer installed and cut the dash with whatever greenlee punch or screwdriver and hammer was available.

I have parted square holes triangles and ovals...and all rough looking for 61 through 64 for 65 2 wheel you have the stamped dash standard with slots and carrige bolt reliefs and for the 4x4s and F350s you have the nice hole shown along with the unfinished vent stampings.

true.
cant remember which truck but i had one with about 30 3/8 holes in the dash for the speaker.
have to figure not many customers watched the installation, and likely none removed the grille to see the holes.

i was going to post this in another thread but i couldn't find it. i had promised this pic of a local junkyard trucks speaker. here it is. although it wasnt what i had remembered it as. i thought it was sunk intothe dah. but the grill was on top of the dash just like all the other pics everyone else has posted.
