I have a 65 fury that the radio in went for a crap and will cost to much to repair. I have recently read that car radios used to have designation numbers like 602 or USA 1 and was wondering if these numbers represented dimensions or style. I would like to retrofit a radio ( not one of the glitzy, flashy, boombox looking type" ) with the same early style of looks and spacing on the ***** but these numbers keep coming up and few manufacturers give dimensions. Small footprint with good power would be nice. Any ideas on a substitution unit for this car or has anyone done this before. All accolades and disappointments in products is welcome as are any recommendations. I've looked at conversions for this radio and I'm really not interested because I want to store it in original condition. I can mount the radio elsewhere if fitting the original bezel is an issue but the head unit would have to be small, much smaller than the original.
Thanks.

I mounted one under the seat & a mirror on the heater duct so the remote would work

Might just fix the one you have with all the upgrades...
If not... I agree... Remote it.. And Hide it...

I personally built a center console under my dash that stretches towards my bench seat that holds a pioneer 9500 single din deck that is fairly clean and simple looking. another option i give to guys building old vehicles is to do a remote **** somewhere as part of a line driver going to a hidden amplifier under a seat or in the trunk.

that is the line driver I usually use and then just go from 3.5mm (headphone jack) on a phone going to the RCA input on the piece above.

Just an idea.
