I installed an AudioVox unit in my 73 BGT with GREAT success!
I found at Pep Boys Auto Stores, Whole system $129US 149 installed
The stalk lever switch I chose was hollow so I cut it off, cut off the
original left stalk on the steering wheel and stuck it right over the old
stalk in its original location You barely notice its a Cruise Control stalk.
