Often the case here in the U.S. market

Bendix made a lot of radios for LBCs, Volvos, etc. in the 1960s. I don't
know about 1970s vintage.

If you're not concerned about show, get something that sounds decent.
Lots of stuff will fit in the opening available with little modification,
even those take-the-faceplate-with-you-for-security-reasons type radios.
Or cruise the flea markets and yards for used equipment and take your
chances. Or, just sit back and listen to the 6 cylinders -- possibly your
best option, considering what one hears on the radio nowadays. ;-)
