I put a radio in my '77 last year that's AM/FM/CD for $59 or something
like that. There's no presets on it and the CD
skips a bit. But it is fairly compact. Seems there's a hose behind my
dash, too. I'm not sure if there is more room in the '77
than a '70, but it might be worth looking at.
It's a cheapie, but that's all you want anyway. I think I got it at
Circuit City, but I've seen them at places like Checker Auto (Kragans, etc).
